Summary

A grand hotel, a famous opera star and a psychoanalyst with a hidden agenda. Kate Mascarenhas's third novel offers her fans a glamorous, thrilling ride through murder, madness and the darkest recesses of the mind.

February, 1929. The Regent Hotel in Birmingham is a place of deception and glamour. Behind its six-storeyed façade, guests sip absinthe cocktails on velvet banquettes, while the hotel's red-jacketed staff scurry through its lavish corridors to ensure the finest service is always at hand.

In the early evening, a psychoanalyst checks in under a pseudonym: Nora Dickinson. Nora is young, diligent and ambitious. Though she doesn't see herself as a liar, she is travelling with an agenda. Having followed the famous opera singer, Berenice Oxbow, from Zurich to Birmingham, she's determined not to let her out of her sight.
But when a terrible snow storm isolates the hotel–and its guests–from the outside world, the lines between nightmare and reality begin to blur...

I lost track a little

I found it hard to know where this book was going and consequently find it hard to review.
suffice to say that it was a good enough narrative to rewind when I lost track of the story and stick with the concept of hirelings.....

Wasn't really sure what was going on

The book starts of brightly, however the narrative appeared confusing mid way through and by the end I was a but nonplussed. the performance of the reader was enough for me to complete the novel though
