“One thing was for sure: This Christmas was going to be anything but boring.” “Legend had it that the hotel was haunted, and I could well believe it.”

In a word, delightful!

This novel takes place in a splendid but aging hotel in the Swiss Alps between Christmas and New Year. Our narrator is Sophie Spark, a high school dropout who is working as an intern.

There is plenty of wit and humor as well as adventure and romance. The hotel has a forbidden cat, a fatherly and diplomatic concierge, and a man who does the laundry while singing arias. The food is delicious and plentiful and the guests are rich and demanding.

This book is a fun ride, you will not be disappointed.
