Gripping from start to finish.
This is the 3rd book in The Streets of Cardiff and they are all a good read. The family life is portrayed in such a way that you are actually living it with them.
I hope that Anne Main writes a 4th book because I want to know what happens to Ivy, Betty, and Phoebe.

GOOD story BADLY WRITTEN
GOOD story although a bit far fetched. Some very bad grammar, words missing. Apostrophes used in wrong places and commas used where not necessary also some spelling mistakes. Was there no proof reader?
