Kate Collins: Saint Death, Gebunden

Klappentext

Perched behind the front desk of a once-grand hotel in the English countryside, Hester finds her days monotonous and claustrophobic. But news of a forthcoming television pilot promises novel excitement: Not only will the show film at the hotel, but the actors--playing the Doctor, the Spiritualist, the Housekeeper, the Husband, and the Wife--will all stay as guests. Hester is thrilled with the arrival of five new companions, and develops a particular affection toward the Wife, who comes to rely on the receptionist to satisfy her every whim. As the summer simmers to a boil, Hester's devotion mushrooms into obsession, and strange horrors begin to unfold. Conflict erupts on set, mysterious injuries afflict the cast and crew, and memories of Hester's darkest transgressions flicker to the fore. Soon, the line between reality and fiction begins to blur, and one thing becomes certain: There will be grim consequences for all.
