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...

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

Very good

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?

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.
