Last clue. The answer is a work by J.B. Priestley, but I have stared at a list of his works for ages and still can't work out which one fits the clue.
"The Spanish secretary's filled with anger"
Any help gratefully received. Thanks.

Laburnum Grove perhaps?

[Tallulah!]

Could it be Angel Pavements?
The - Spanish = el.
Begins with ang.
Secretaries are called Temps which is in second word.
That leaves letters pave which are over.
Pave could mean filled?
Agggh. I'm not mch good at cryptic.

I don't like it, but Angel Pavement ?

el = the spanish
PA = secretary
but I'm unable to explain the rest, except that he letters 'ang' are part of anger.

I have been trying to fit - Dangerous Corner - into the clue, but apart from it containing the word 'anger' I can't see it.

Same with Angel Pavement, too many spare letters.

Thanks everyone who tried this, I think piggling has got it.
I'm impressed, cos I don't think I would have ever got the answer.
