About this listen

Can the family keep safe from harm?

1926: The murderer Gerald Ponsonby has been caught, thanks to Boots, and is facing trial. He hates Boots and the whole Adams clan and is hungry for revenge.

When a dapper, quiet, but rather odd lodger turns up at Doreen Paterson's house, nobody thinks anything is amiss. Certainly not Doreen - who works for Boots in Adams Enterprises and thinks him just wonderful....

Could the strange lodger be plotting the downfall of the irrepressible, outrageous, and larger-than-life Adams clan?

A Family Affair is the fifth in Mary Jane Staples's Adams Family series. Their story continues in Missing Person. Have you heard the first four Adams Family novels?

Super change to the happy go lucky nature of first couple books but still an enjoyable listen. I did think the return of one character was a little suspect but that being said it may be a slow burner over more books! Time will tell, on to the missing one!

Bit darker story line but gooden
