The Dark Hotel
Autor Catriona Mcphersonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 mar 2027
In this slow-burn psychological thriller, a recovering alcoholic's relocation to a small Scottish village to start over opens the door on a mystery that could help solve her brother's thirty-year disappearance.
She came to her new home to reinvent herself. What she finds is a place where nothing is forgotten...no matter who tries to cover it up.
A recovering alcoholic at forty-five, Lake Maitland moves to the small Scottish village of Brae for a fresh start. Falling down the stairs while intoxicated is an unfortunate backslide. Particularly since it means a broken kneecap and confinement to the upstairs of her railway cottage.
Well. At least the view is interesting.
The Station Hotel is an imposing Victorian building, shuttered these past twenty-five years. No one wants to talk about it, likely because the hotel is connected to a series of disappearances. It might even be linked to Lake's own brother going missing three decades ago.
But if the hotel's been empty, why do the lights keep coming on?
As she connects the dots between each mystery, Lake grows closer to her seemingly well-meaning neighbors. Everyone holds a piece to the puzzle. But not everyone wants it to be solved.

Catriona has written all over the mystery genre--historicals, comedies, dark psychological thrillers--and her work has won Anthony, Agatha, Lefty, and Macavity awards. Her novels have also been short-listed for Edgar and Mary Higgins Clark awards, as well as a UK Dagger.
