I really enjoyed this book! As a Strictly Come Dancing fan, I was surprised to discover Anton du Beke also had a career as an author, and I was intrigued to find out how skilled he was at writing. I have to say I was very impressed as the book was very well written and very easy to read - I flew through the book as it was very enjoyable and I didn’t want to put it down. 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.
I quickly came to love the hotel and all its residents. The book is full of different, interesting characters with their own storylines, personalities and problems. The third person POV allowed me to connect with all these different characters and they were so distinctive I was quickly able to set them apart. I enjoyed reading about each one. I don’t want to give too much away so I won’t delve into the different storylines, but there was plenty of drama and intrigue that kept me entertained throughout! The book was full of lovely heartfelt moments and also some bittersweet ones, as well as a few moments of shock. It felt like the perfect book to curl up with and enjoy especially with the Christmas theme.
I’m definitely invested in the characters now and look forward to the continuation of the series - I may even have to go back and buy the previous books to add to my collection! I would definitely recommend this book to others.
