Welcome to the Hitchcock Hotel.
Dedicated to the Master of Suspense.
Full of props and memorabilia.
Be sure to mind the birds. Be careful in the shower.
Five guests are invited – all old friends.
They go way back. Way, way back.
No one’s seen reclusive
owner Alfred in sixteen years.
And the question everyone’s asking:
why are we here? Is it a game? A puzzle?
It’s certainly a mystery.
But it’s also deadly serious.
Because someone has a score to settle.
And this will be the perfect opportunity.
After all, it wouldn’t be Hitchcock without a murder . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Wrobel's diverting if somewhat lethargic latest (after This Might Hurt) introduces Hitchcock aficionado Alfred Smettle, owner of the eponymous hotel, a bed-and-breakfast (complete with a crow-filled aviary) in New Hampshire's White Mountains. To celebrate the first anniversary of the hotel's grand opening, Alfred invites five friends from his university film club for a four-day stay. Few members of the group—which includes security specialist TJ, entrepreneur Samira, hedge fund manager Grace, recently disgraced restaurateur Zoe, and luxury clothing heir Julius—have remained close in the 16 years since they graduated, but each has their own private reason for accepting Alfred's invitation. The group's mild interest in reuniting turns to unease as the weekend wears on and buried secrets from their university days rise to the surface, calling into question why, exactly, Alfred has summoned them. Eventually, somebody dies. Wrobel front-loads the narrative with too much exposition, but once the secrets are out, she delivers a fun third act. Hitchcock fans will delight in the copious easter eggs, but others will find this unremarkable.
