"The Hotel Detective and his Lover" by Derek Picot details the life of Richard Marker and his quest to win over Sandrine Parte. I will read to know if he did succeed.

[Priyankan Nayak]

Richard Marker, Chief Security Officer at the Adelphi Hotel had previous experience of working as a detective and police. He keeps records of his staff and those who reside in the property. He was very much attracted to Sandrine Parte. Whether he fulfills his desire or not? The book starts with a mysterious event. I liked the way the author tried to explain the background of the character. Professionally edited books require less checking. Congratulations on BOTD. Looking forward to reading it.
