Hotel Alpha by Mark Watson
5.0
I always enjoy Mark Watson's books. He writes great stories with engaging believable characters. This one is set in the Hotel Alpha and the chapters alternate between Graham, the Hotel's concierge and the owner's son. Both are equally beholden to the larger than life owner Howard and all along you wonder if he really is all he purports to be.
Highly entertaining, it zips along, much as the years do in the book.
There is a companion volume of 100 stories related to the guests. These were available on a website, but that appears to have gone so you now have to buy it. My kindle version came with a sample of 8 of these, and while I enjoyed them, I don't feel its necessary to buy the rest - the tale stands on its own quite happily.
This would make a good holiday read.
