THE HITCHCOCK HOTEL

This quirky whodunit is seamlessly narrated by three award-winning narrators--Michael Crouch, Gail Shalan, and Helen Lloyd. Crouch voices Alfred Smettle, capturing his oddball sensibilities. It's been almost 15 years since Alfred has seen his college friends, so when he invites them to the first anniversary of his Hitchcock-themed hotel's opening, they accept. Some suspect it's much safer to get together than to ignore the invitation. Why that turns out to be the case--and who's tracking whom for what purpose--keeps the listener engaged throughout. Though each chapter focuses on an individual and the storyline is told in both the present and past, it's woven artfully and includes plenty of suspicious behavior from all the alums. The ending will come as a surprise. L.W.S. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2024]
