'A classic story of a haunted hotel with a modern twist … his tale is frightening and intriguing, but with a humorous side.'-- Hazel Mollison, Edinburgh Evening News'This is a tale full of mystery and fun … accomplished readers will enjoy it.'-- Armadillo Magazine, Winter 2008'Capturing the essence of the small town and written in a relaxed style, there are many dark mysteries to be solved and intriguing, dismal avenues to explore, but all are connected by a thread of humour that lifts the suspense and prevents young readers from suffering bad dreams after reading about the haunted hotel.'-- Jayne Howarth, Carousel, Spring 2009'A humorous adventure story to delight younger readers.'-- The Scots Magazine, February 2009'Mysteries abound, strands are revealed and pursued and past and present merge as a wonderfully complex jig-saw of a plot is resolved with striking pace and panache. A splendidly complex puzzle with grand characters hovering between fantasy and reality but with feet firmly rooted in relationships and loyalties makes for a good read for both boys and girls.'-- Chris Brown, The School Librarian'I thoroughly enjoyed it. I really liked Rory and it was funny finding out how he got to grips with all the strange happenings at Hotel Grimm.

I also enjoyed how the story turned into a mystery which Rory had to get to the bottom of.'-- Megan Corsie, Leith Academy, writing for Teen Titles Magazine.
