When she accidentally donates her favorite book--a heavily annotated copy of To Kill a Mockingbird containing a memento she can't be without--to a local little community library, she's devastated. But then the book turns up a week later, back in the library with fresh notes in the margins, along with an invitation in a copy of Great Expectations to meet her newfound pen pal.

He is the founder, owner, and manager of the Hitchcock Hotel, a sprawling Victorian house in the White Mountains dedicated to the master of suspense. There, Alfred offers his guests round-the-clock film screenings, movie props and memorabilia in every room, plus an aviary with fifty crows. To celebrate the hotel's first anniversary, he invites his former best friends from his college film club for a reunion. He hasn't spoken to any of them in sixteen years, not after what happened. But who better than them to appreciate Alfred's creation? And to help him finish it. After all, no Hitchcock set is complete without a body"
