Product Information

While there he has been entrusted with a job that could go to the very heart of the Buckingham’s survival.

She is so happy and it has calmed her down, she has been so hyper and anxious the last few days, but your magic has worked wonders. After a successful debut the temptation might have been to maintain the status quo but instead Du Beke takes the risk of significant developments taking place in the lives of the primary cast and as a result the novel proves to be as engrossing as the first. I popped in a couple of weeks ago and picked-up a book for my grandma related to WW1 and Castle Donington.I doubt the novel would work as well as it does if read as a stand-alone, with much of the enjoyment coming from seeing how far the characters who came to life in the first novel fare in the second. With an author like Anton Du Beke, dancing was going to feature heavily in the story, along with music (particularly the “dance bands” that were so popular at the time, and the often black saxophonists that starred in them). An utterly enchanting read sprinkled with charm, romance and heart, Moonlight Over Mayfair delights from beginning to end and sweeps readers back in time and into a world of glamour and elegance which they will find themselves reluctant to leave at the end of the novel. I enjoyed it because I already knew the characters, but someone coming into this novel 'cold' would get very little idea of what the main players looked like or their backstories/personalities.
