🛎'A writer of exceptional promise' Daily Mail

🛎'A clever and satisfying thriller in a wonderfully decadent setting' Elly Griffiths

🛎 'Excellent...combines some first-class Agatha Christie-esque plotting with a few sensual scenes that would make Monsieur Poirot blush to the very ends of his moustache' Daily Telegraph

In modern Vienna, the infamous Hotel Orient glitters at the heart of the city, luring lovers inside for an evening of debauchery. Behind its velvet curtain, cameras are forbidden, aliases are required, and every guest has something to hide.

For those seeking illicit liaisons, Sterling Lockwood is the perfect concierge. Sultry and poised, she's the ultimate keeper of secrets, including her own.

But when dawn breaks and two of the anonymous guests are found dead in their suite, Sterling must break the Orient's sacred code of discretion, turning detective to find a killer and clear her own name.

Alongside Fernando, her quick-witted friend and bellhop, Sterling steps beyond the hotel's stained-glass doors, venturing from grand coffee houses where power whispers between porcelain cups, to dimly lit bars where the curious seek rapturous oblivion, and risking everything to solve an impossible case.

A spicy whodunnit with Golden Age style, set in a timeless location inspired by a real Viennese no-tell love hotel. 🛎

Recensioni della critica

Sultry, sinister and smart. Sterling Lockwood is going to steal your heart - just don't trust her with it (Stuart Turton, author of)
The louche but witty "Murder at the Hotel Orient" seems to occupy a subgenre all its own. Call it boudoir noir
This is a striking debut, part-classic murder mystery and part-erotic tale, from a writer of exceptional promise
A clever and satisfying thriller in a wonderfully decadent setting. Sterling Lockwood is an unforgettable heroine (Elly Griffiths, author of)
[A] darkly seductive debut . . . Sterling proves herself a worthy investigator. Ranelli, meanwhile, spins storytelling magic out of Vienna's shadowy, fantasy-laden subcultures
[An] excellent debut...combines some first-class Agatha Christie-esque plotting with a few sensual scenes that would make Monsieur Poirot blush to the very ends of his moustache.
The Debut Murder of the Month . . . [Alessandra's] writing is to the point - "Her white silk dress was conservative enough to pass in high society but snug enough to preoccupy the imagination" . . . both plot and style impress
A delightful treat of a novel, imaginative, classy, and utterly seductive. Concierge Sterling Lockwood is a total heartbreaker, and the timeless Vienna she inhabits is a masterclass in noir that Ranelli teases to life with consummate style and humour. A stunning and highly original debut from a talented author to watch (Gilly Macmillan, bestselling author of The Burning Library)
A whole new spin on the whodunnit genre. Golden Age Crime and Old Hollywood but with the scandal and sauciness dialled up to maximum. Salacious goings on, razor-sharp humour, and an evocative setting. Think Agatha Christie but with Poirot, Hastings and Miss Lemon in a throuple. This is a unique slice of joy (Chris Bridges, author of)
Murder at the Hotel Orient is a sassy, sexy celebration of old school mysteries with a brash, unapologetic sensual twist. I loved it!'
A stylish murder mystery that yanks back the veil on the inner workings of a Viennese "love hotel". Written with charm and a biting edge, the book nods to classic Christie with a healthy dollop of a darker, knowing noir. A lusciously original debut (Vaseem Khan, author of)
Murder at the Hotel Orient is one of the most assured and original debuts I've read in some time. If Natasha Lyonne did Only Murders in the Building it might look something like this. Sterling Lockwood is a wonderfully refreshing investigator, and I look forward to seeing where her next case takes her (Tariq Ashkanani, author of)
