'Du Beke effectively cuts the glamour and aspiration of the ballroom with the grubby, ghastly side of the war at home' - DAILY MAIL

'You don't need to be a Strictly fan to relish this lively read, its glamour, magic and colourful
characters' LUCY HELLIKER

The stunning new Buckingham novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Anton Du Beke.

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...

I absolutely love this series.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 29 January 2023

I can't get enough of this series. I love it so much. This was the longest book so far but I didn't feel like it dragged, there was a lot happening which had me hooked from page one. The Ballroom Blitz is definitely the darkest book of the series, focusing on the almost nightly attacks, the aftermath of Dunkirk, blackmail, sabotage, even a love story. It really has it all. I'm hoping The Buckingham reigns for many years to come.

I enjoyed returning to all the characters as they seem like family to catch up with. Im so glad Anton s still writing about the Buckingham hotel and all the happenings in London during that challenging time in our history and hope its not going to end here which seemed a bit sudden as I expected it to end on New Years Eve.
Looking forward to the next one but realise how busy he must be

I really enjoyed The Ballroom Blitz. It was well written, as indeed, were all the other books by Anton. I couldn't put it down. Quality story telling. It gave a clear account of what it must have been like during the war years in Britain, and how, people found ways to keep going to survive.
