"Hotel Paradise is a remarkable achievement. Every word is alive, redolent with beauty and surprise and the promise of revelations to come. The story is the rarest kind of mystery -- one that's built out of secret thoughts and feelings we instantly recognize as true to real people who live in the world we know. When I turned the last page I wanted to find that I had only imagined it was over."
-- Thomas Perry
"The originality here -- the convention of a radically disempowered detective set against a densely imagined but indifferent world -- will remind some readers of Barbara Vine, others of the Henry James of "In the Cage" and The Awkward Age. It shows off Grimes's gifts for extravagant digression beautifully."
-- Kirkus Reviews
HOTEL PARADISE is a delicate yet disturbing view of the decisions a young girl must make on her way to becoming an adult...and the choices she must make between right and wrong, love and truth, life and death. With its narrative grace, compelling characters, and intricate suspense, HOTEL PARADISE is Martha Grimes at the top of her form.
