Summary

Times move on for the Adams family in South London, and as business prospers, there are new worries to deal with. A young woman arrives who is intent on ruining Sammy Adams' winter fashion show, and Sammy must deal with her unwelcome attention. Boots has to find a solution when one of his female employees tells him about a sinister visitor, but he doesn't realise that his family are being observed.

Out of the shadows come dark and mysterious figures from the past who intrude on Boots, Polly and the twins, and his adopted daughter, Rosie. Meanwhile Rosie has her hands full as her daughter, Emily, continues to rebel against everything around her.

How will the Adams family cope, as trouble seems to lurk around every corner?

Brilliant as always.

I even warmed to Polly, a fantastic series, I will be sad when I get to the end of it to be honest, written & narrated superbly. Thank you.

Another brilliant book in this serial of the Adams

I love listening to these books in fact this is the second time I've listen to them. The narrator is brilliant & I'm so glad that she has narrated the whole serial of these books it is very annoying when a narrator is changed half way through like some.
