Alfred Smettle adores Hitchcock

And who better to become founder, owner and manager of The Hitchcock Hotel

a remote, sprawling Victorian house sitting atop a hill in the beautiful White Mountains, New England

There

guests can find movie props and memorabilia in every room

round-the-clock film screenings

and an aviary with fifty crows

For the hotel's first anniversary

Alfred invites the

five college friends

he studied film with

He hasn't spoken to any of them in sixteen years

Not after what happened

But who better to appreciate Alfred's creation?

His guests arrive

and everything seems to go according to plan

Until one glimpses someone standing outside her shower curtain

Another is violently ill every time she eats the hotel food

Then their mobile phones go missing

You should always make the audience suffer as much as possible

right?

The guests are stuck in the middle of nowhere

and things are about to get even worse

After all

no Hitchcock set is complete without a dead body

---

A slow burn of suspense

secrets

and lies that – in true Hitchcockian fashion - explodes into a series of twists

each more jaw-dropping than the last

Riley Sager

'Artful construction

shudder-inducing suspense

and cinematic spark
