Synopsis

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.

'Wildly entertaining, twisty, and elegant (with a modern twist)... Alex Hay is a rare talent' WILL DEAN
'The bold, brash and unashamedly devious women are pure delight' JESSICA BULL
'A mystery that resonates down the decades... and twists that just keep coming' KRISTIN PERRIN

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.

Though, things at the Hotel Artemis aren't quite what they seem - including the two guests Diana expects at midnight. Powerful and dangerous, they've dragged her from the gutter and taught her all she knows. Now 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.

Praise for Alex Hay:

'Sets a cracking pace... with plenty of twists and a great deal of fun, this is the perfect holiday read' Guardian
'Sheer delight from start to finish' Janice Hallett
'Delightfully mischievous' The Times
'Audacious, cunning, quick-witted' Louise Candlish
'Fiendishly clever' Jennie Godfrey
'A dangerous game... delivered with fabulous aplomb' Daily Mail
'A period piece, a full-throttle thriller and a masterclass in characterisation' Erin Kelly
