On Mother Brown's Doorstep [Large Print] [Hardcover]

Mary Jane Staples (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1994

The big event of the Walworth year was to be the wedding of Sammy Adams, King of Camberwell, to Miss Susie Brown. Everyone was looking forward to it, and Susie was particularly overjoyed when her soldier brother suddenly turned up on leave from service in India in time for the approaching 'knees-up'. The reason for Will's extended leave wasn't so good, for bad health had struck him and he didn't know how long the army would keep him, or how he could find a civvy job in the slump of the 20s. When he - literally - picked Annie Ford up off the pavement in King and Queen Street, his worries were compounded, for Annie was a bright, brave, personable young woman and Will knew that if he wasn't careful he'd find himself falling in love. And over Walworth hung a greater anxiety - the mystery of three young girls missing from their homes - a mystery that was to draw closer and closer to the Adams and Brown families, and finally culminate - along with Will's personal problems - on the night of the wedding.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fouth book in the Adams' series, November 2, 2004

This review is from: On Mother Brown's Doorstep (Hardcover)

"On Mother Brown's Doorstep" is the fouth book in the Adams series. Much of the this book is about the up coming wedding of Sammy Adams and Suzie Brown. Also we meet more of Suzie's family including Will Brown who is back from India due to health reasons and while home he meet Annie Ford and her family. But things are not good in Walworth, with three missing girls.

While I liked "On Mother Brown's Doorstep" the whole substory of the missing girls really was not needed. Also I think that the Polly Simms character could be used better. But, thisreview should not turn people off to reading a great series.
