About this listen
March 1941. As the war rages on, the Buckingham Hotel has become a microcosm of the world. Its ballroom and restaurant are peopled with exiled royal families, politicians and dignitaries, but the beating heart of the Buckingham remains its hardworking, talented staff.
With the heroic Raymond de Guise away fighting in North Africa, his beloved wife Nancy must balance her new position in life- as Head of Housekeeping at the Buckingham, but also as a new mother to their child.
And all the while, mysterious new figures are beginning to take centre stage: a secretive new bandleader from across the Atlantic, an unknown thief pilfering luxury goods from the Buckingham's larders, and a charismatic ghost from Raymond's past, stirring up old memories from his time on the circuit in 1920s Paris.
As tensions flare and dark secrets rise to the surface, it's all the Buckingham staff can do to retain their trademark elegance and poise...

Very good
A good story and by now the characters are well-defined - and all with a flavour of ballroom dancing.

Anton keeps getting better
A fast paced, lovely and engrossing, page turner for the latest instalment with our friends at the Buckingham hotel. Getting to know Raymond's backstory of how he came to be Raymond de Guise was particularly satisfying. When's the next one coming?

Another amazing story
I just love the way the story gave a deeper knowledge and understanding of all the families involved in other books. The ending of this leaves the door open for more and I cannot wait

Luxury & black market in WW11 London
The glorious luxury world of the Buckingham hotel London continues. The staff providing to exiled rulers from Europe. But outside ordinary people are being bombed nightly and losing everything including their homes. Some staff experienced this first hand. All the while the flamboyant ballroom dancing continues to be at the heart of the story, along with mutiny in the orchestra and intrigue of spies infiltrating the hotel staff.

Love this series and the time it is set in
Another great story , interesting new characters and still the initial strong characters. Love all the social history, the snobbery and the joy even in hard times . Looking forward to the next one

Wonderful continuation of the story
I loved hearing some of Raymond's backstory but I did miss not hearing more of his current story, but hearing about all the other characters was a good distraction. We haven't reached the end of the war yet, so there's definitely room for at least a couple more books!
I have to add that Thomas Judd is amazing as a narrator! It doesn't matter if it's men or women from all over the country, nay the world and he has a convincing (to me anyway!) voice/accent to cover it! I think he really adds to the brilliance of this series.
Roll on the next book please!
