Mary Jane Staples · 2011
72/100
👍 Worth It
Twenty books into the Adams Family saga, Mary Jane Staples delivers exactly what her loyal readers come for — warmth, Cockney humour, a well-loved community, and just enough peril to keep the pages turning. If you're already part of this fictional family, number twenty will feel like coming home; if you're new, start at the beginning because you'll be lost here. This is comfort fiction done with consistency and genuine affection for its characters.
