Summary
The stunning Buckingham novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Anton Du Beke, featuring an audio exclusive introduction from the author.
September 1940. As the skies split apart and bombs rain down on London, it's all the staff at the famed Buckingham Hotel can do to keep their guests in the luxury they're accustomed to, and evoke the magic of the Grand ballroom for them each night.
Home on leave and still reeling from the tragic events at Dunkirk, the dashing Raymond de Guise struggles to define his role in this new world, and to do his duty both to his country, and his beloved wife Nancy- who needs him now more than ever.
With profiteers skulking the London streets, and devious rivals plotting the Buckingham's downfall, the hotel staff must all hold onto what matters most- and decide where their loyalties truly lie.
As the bombing intensifies and Christmas fast approaches, somehow the show must go on...

Good story line but felt there was more drama needed or more detail with the people in the story on backgrounds

Dazzling Ballroom v London Blitz
A good story taken along at a reasonable pace, with twists and turns to keep one guessing until the end. Which was a little flat, but left the way open go the next saga at the Buckingham.

the ballroom blitz
Great to listen to another story about the people of the Buckingham hotel.
Only one small remark Queen Wilhelmina did not have a son called Bernard, she only had a daughter Juliana who married Bernard.
Surely this is not the end of Raymond, Nancy, Billy and everybody else?

When is the next Anton?
Wonderful story again with great new characters - with the De Guises at the centre. Realistic (too realistic!) feel of wartime London. Can't wait for next!
