Using the real life experience of the years in the book made the story more believable and interesting.

I’ve loved this series since the first one back in 2018 and fell in love with the wonderfully endearing characters. Anton’s passion for the 1930’s and his love of dance, glitz and glamour shine positively throughout the series and really does transport you to a completely different era. I felt it had more breadth than depth,but, to be honest and a few too many story lines and characters. Behind the scenes, the staff work tirelessly, ensuring the smooth operation of the hotel, not only keeping the confidences of their guests, but also protecting their own secrets. The debonair Raymond de Guise and his love, Nancy; Mr Charles as he conducts his hotel director magic; Mrs Moffat as she cares for the girls under her leadership; Frank, Nancy’s brother, as he weaves his own story; Miss Edgerton as she steers the Daughters of Salvation.This third encounter sees du Beke maintain his authentic grasp of the period era and follows goings-on at the hotel from April 1938 to the eve of WWII, taking in the marriage of independent Lancastrian chambermaid, Nancy Nettleton, and debonair demonstration dancer, Raymond de Guise (aka Ray Cohen from Whitechapel). The story mainly goes around the up and coming wedding of Nancy Nettleton and Raymond de Guise (aka) ray cohen, and all the trails and tribulations that surrounds it, but there is so much more happening around it that you become engrossed in each and every characters story. There's love as well as loss, happiness as well as sadness and there are quite a few secrets from pasts both divulged and resolved. Curl up with a hot chocolate (or glass of wine if you prefer) on a wet Sunday afternoon, allow him to and enjoy as the author transports you back in time. As Strictly's longest running professional dancer, and now Judge, Anton is the perfect author to lead the reader to the dancefloor as never before.

Whilst it may sound a little like a finalé, I’m sure our characters wouldn’t give me a moment’s peace if I didn’t continue telling their stories, especially with war drawing ever closer and lives set to change in so many ways… Here’s another spoiler: there’s still more to come! For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. Although I haven’t read the previous books in the series and some of the references to past events therefore didn’t mean much to me, I was easily able to follow the storyline and dive straight into the world of the Buckingham hotel. In each episode you'll follow one person's journey, getting to listen in on their coaching sessions with Selina and following them as she sends them off on a task to try out a new career idea.By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions.

Characters who are believable; people you will doff your hat to, or smile at before bidding them a "good morning" as you pass them by in the street or the hallways of the hotel itself. Guests arrive from around the world, seeking comfort, relaxation and refuge as tensions build across Europe and whispered rumours of war grow louder.
