Spend a Festive Break in a Book

Some books just scream to be turned into a real life holiday. Without some of the criminal elements of course….

Why not take yourself off to some of these locations during these dark winter months and REALLY make the most of the darkness….

Murder at the Alpine Hotel

Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel Lucy Foley

Murder at the Alpine Hotel

High in the Swiss Alps, with glorious mountain views and exclusive access to powdery slopes, the Grand Alpine Hotel draws guests from far and wide.

But when a guest enters a gondola alive, only to be found dead at the top of the mountain, it’s clear there’s a killer in their midst…….

Murder at the Alpine Hotel

A fictional place or is it…..

Zermatt: The highest ski area in Europe ( 3,899 metres). Imagine falling down one of these slopes?

Verbier (4 Vallées): Part of Switzerland’s largest connected ski network . As known for its slopes as it is for its nightlife….and that could mean all manner of crime fiction shenanigans

St. Moritz: A historic, upscale resort known for glamorous après-ski and high-altitude skiing. This appears to be very similar to the resort in the novel. Imagine going there and reading this!
