About this listen
THE USA TODAY BESTSELLER!
"A clever, sinister fun-house ride."–People
"Jaw-dropping."–Riley Sager
"Hugely readable and tremendous fun."–Alex Michaelides
A Hitchcock fanatic with an agenda invites old friends for a weekend stay at his secluded themed hotel in this fiendishly clever, suspenseful new novel from the international bestselling author of Darling Rose Gold.
Alfred Smettle is not your average Hitchcock fan. He is the founder, owner, and manager of The Hitchcock Hotel, a sprawling Victorian house in the White Mountains dedicated to the Master of Suspense. There, Alfred offers his guests round-the-clock film screenings, movie props and memorabilia in every room, plus an aviary with fifty crows.
To celebrate the hotel’s first anniversary, he invites his former best friends from his college Film Club for a reunion. He hasn’t spoken to any of them in sixteen years, not after what happened.
But who better than them to appreciate Alfred’s creation? And to help him finish it.
After all, no Hitchcock set is complete without a body.

Story
Iðunn is in yet another doctor's office. She knows her constant fatigue is a sign that something's not right, but practitioners dismiss her symptoms and blood tests haven't revealed any cause. When she talks to friends and family about it, the refrain is the same—have you tried eating better? exercising more? establishing a nighttime routine? She tries to follow their advice, buying everything from vitamins to sleeping pills to a step-counting watch. Nothing helps. Until one night Iðunn falls asleep with the watch on, and wakes up to find she’s walked over 40,000 steps in the night.

Anya is enjoying a relaxing bath when she hears a noise coming from the ceiling. Through the open bathroom door, she sees the attic hatch swing down, and a masked figure drops to the floor. Thirty seconds later, Anya is dead. Across town, Anya's old school friend, Julia, sees an online video of a masked figure climbing out of an attic. She suddenly realizes why the footage is eerily familiar: it was filmed inside her own house in a luxury gated community, designed to keep intruders out. Why would a stranger target Julia? Unless of course, it's not a stranger at all.

Critic reviews
"[T]his locked-room mystery contains masterful pacing, with suspense built around the identity of the victim and then the discovery of the killer. Wrobel's third novel (after This Might Hurt, 2022) artfully blends suspense with mystery, tying in quotes from Hitchcock as well as research about his work that will be intriguing to Hitchcock amateurs and aficionados alike."—Booklist (starred review)
"Wrobel deftly juggles seven point-of-view characters, finding and harnessing their unique voices with practiced ease."—Kirkus
“Sometimes, you come across a title that tells you you’re going to love what’s going on inside the book, and Stephanie Wrobel’s The Hitchcock Hotel is one such case.”—CrimeReads

This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered.

My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Iðunn is in yet another doctor's office. She knows her constant fatigue is a sign that something's not right, but practitioners dismiss her symptoms and blood tests haven't revealed any cause. When she talks to friends and family about it, the refrain is the same—have you tried eating better? exercising more? establishing a nighttime routine? She tries to follow their advice, buying everything from vitamins to sleeping pills to a step-counting watch. Nothing helps. Until one night Iðunn falls asleep with the watch on, and wakes up to find she’s walked over 40,000 steps in the night.

Thirty seconds later, Anya is dead. Across town, Anya's old school friend, Julia, sees an online video of a masked figure climbing out of an attic.

Hitchcock would make it a movie
Very good story with characters that you learn to dislike. It is a good mystery story but not scary and not too atmospheric. There are many twists and turns so stick with it. Hitch would have made a movie better than the book.

An Interesting Hitcockian-style Thriller
Now I’m a huge a fan of Hitchcock’s films and it’s clear the author knows her Hitch trivia and lore. Having a character who gives off a Norman Bates tone (thankfully sans Mother’s stuffed corpse ) in a hotel modeled after one of horror’s most famous locations along with a housekeeper who is similar to the stellar Dame Judith Anderson’s Mrs. Danvers in “Rebecca” really gave an unsettling start.
Then you meet the pretty terrible sextet of “friends” that are invited to the titular hotel. You’ve got the two married women who are clearly unhappy (one even going so far as to be an unfaithful spouse), the alcoholic, a wealthy black sheep who actually is the catalyst for the entire series of events in their shared past & then there’s the guy running from bad people cause he did something incredibly stupid. I really didn’t care for most of the group though Julius (the wealthy black sheep) actually had the most humanity to him because he actually felt guilty for what his past actions reverberated down to where we begin.
The mystery does quite a while to get going due a lot of info dumps, but it is purposeful since it leads to the unraveling of why our host has invited his former “friends” to his hotel in order to punish them for was done to him in their final college days. However once the evils start being uncovered and dirty laundry is aired, things really ramp up as you try to find out who the true villain really is. I know a couple reviews say they pegged the bad guy, but I was genuinely shocked to find out who it was and their connection to the dark secret that set this whole story in motion.
If you’re a Hitchcock fan or just enjoy a solid mystery, stick with this as it gets engaging and you’ll love noting the references to the Master of Suspense’s work

A Must Read!!!! Sooo Good!!
This book is outstanding, loved it!!!! Clever whodunit that pays homage to Hitchcock.. but it’s so much more than that! I couldn’t recommend it more!!

Hitch lives!
This was like watching a Hitchcock movie. If you love his movies, you will love this book. Narration was good, but not excellent. Off to watch Rope or Rear Window or Dial M for Murder now!
