Ohh - a lovely start that has me wanting to read more!
Sometimes debut books by celebrities can leave you wishing they stuck to their celebrity role so I opened the first look sample of this book somewhat warily. I really didn't need to have worried. I'm impressed by how the writing flows, it seems to take the leading role in a dance through the story. There are dancers involved, too, an opulent ballroom, celebrities from this historic era and some great characters already.
Mr Simenon definitely seems like someone to be avoided . . . Raymond de Guise obviously has secrets which have kept him estranged from his family, now I want to know why and where has his brother been? Mrs Moffat seems lovely and sounds like she'll be a good friend to Nancy - but even she has admitted that no one is perfect so I wonder what secrets she's hiding? There's a lot to come in this story and I can't wait to continue reading it and, figuratively joining in the elaborate dances and charades at the Buckingham Hotel alongside the staff and guests as Nancy settles into her new job there.
