Product Description
The house in Caulfield Place, off Browning Street in Walworth, was haunted, or at least that's what the street kids said. So when two men, a woman, and a parrot moved in, everyone was very interested, especially fourteen-year-old Cassie Ford, who was particularly fascinated by the parrot. And it was just about this time that Mr Finch, Chinese Lady's husband, and Boots's stepfather, began to get mysterious telephone calls. Mr Finch had never told the rest of the Adams family - except for Boots - the secrets of his past, or what kind of work he did for the government, and he decided not to tell them about the slightly sinister telephone calls either. It was when he took Chinese Lady on a summer's day jaunt in his Morris motorcar that things began to happen. For, in the Hog's Back Hotel, Chinese Lady went to the cloakroom, and when she came back Mr Finch had vanished. It took all of Boots's ingenuity to discover what had happened, and Cassie's knowledge of the Caulfield Place parrot was to prove a vital clue in unravelling the mystery.

This book is a continuation of the lives of the lovely warm cockney Adams family. It starts in 1930 and involves Mr. Finch, Chinese Lady's 2nd husband. It is written with all the usual humour and although the story has a serious theme of espionage and intrigue, there is the usual happy ending that readers of the Adams family books have come to expect. I have enjoyed reading it as much as the previous ones and as always can't wait to finish it and move onto the rest of family saga.

A decent Adams book
12 May 2006
Format:Paperback
Even though life is hard during the thirties, the families and businesses of the Adams family are doing well. But then while out for tea with his wife the Chinese Lady, Edwin Finch goes missing. While there are very few clues, a parrot belonging to Cassie Brown may hold a secret to the were abouts of Mr. Finch.
"Missing Persons" is the sixth book in the Adams series, While it was a decent book, I have to say that I didn't enjoy it as much as earlier books due to the other storyline. But I know that the series will get better.
