In Upstairs at the Beresford, the narrative unfolds in a grand old hotel just outside the city, a place where anyone is welcome and secrets lurk behind every door.

The atmosphere is thick with tension, dark humor, and unexpected twists that keep the reader guessing.

The plot thickens when Danielle returns home one night to discover Sam has vanished, leading to a chain of sinister events.
