Welcome to the Hotel Artemis – and an opening night to remember. With thanks to Jo for the below review!
The White Lotus meets Peaky Blinders in this page-turning new mystery from the bestselling author of The Housekeepers. This book is set in a dual-timeline format.
1926: A new hotel is opening in London. The owner is a mysterious lady with a mysterious background and a strange building. As the title suggests, there will be guests at midnight, but who are they?
2026: A man who wants to make some money after losing his job finds his grandmother’s notes about a story of something that happened in the hotel…
There are more secrets than you can imagine, which are gradually unfolded as the story progresses. The characters are great; some are amoral in many ways, while some find themselves in difficult circumstances because of previous history.
The story will have moments that will shock you, certainly make you question your understanding of other humans and make you realise that money can be king in some people’s lives.
I found it to be an enjoyable read. Murders, secrets and an unfolding generational story, with a number of cliff-hanging moments, were the contributors to that!
About the Book
Welcome to the Hotel Artemis – and an opening night to remember. The White Lotus meets Peaky Blinders in this page-turning new mystery from the bestselling author of The Housekeepers.
1926. Diana Gold, owner and impresario, throws open the doors to the most opulent new hotel in London. As the champagne flows and the chandeliers shimmer, millionaires and gamblers rub shoulders with film stars and royalty.
Yet nothing at the Hotel Artemis is quite what it seems – not least two infamous guests who Diana expects at midnight. Powerful and dangerous, they’ve dragged her from the gutter and taught her all she knows. Now they’re calling in her debt – and Diana must take perfect care of them, unless they take care of her first.
But when a body is found in the hotel’s finest suite, the lavish opening night begins to spiral out of control. And over twenty-four fateful hours, the staff and guests of the Artemis will find out why they are really there.
