The Camberwell Raid

There was a double wedding planned in Walworth. Sally Brown was marrying Horace Cooper, and her brother, Freddy, was at last getting hitched to his childhood sweetheart, Cassie Ford. But the wedding wasn't the only thing being planned, for Ginger Carstairs and Dusty Miller were working out a bank robbery and, unbeknown to the inhabitants of Walworth and Denmark Hill, both Freddy Brown and the Adams family were to be deeply involved and put in considerable danger.

It took much ingenuity on Boots's part to come up with a scheme that would foil the plans of the raiders. And all this was happening at a time when Boots had other worries in his life, and when the unity of his own little family was being threatened.

Reviews

Very much the successor to Catherine Cookson. Her books are plot driven, they just rip along; laughs, weeps, love, they've got the lot, and they're quality writing as well

—— Sarah Broadhurst on Radio 4

Thoroughly addictive storytelling with a moving, emotional heart

—— Dinah Jefferies

Absolutely impossible to put down

—— Tracy Rees

A brilliant page-turner just soaked in glamour and romance

—— Daily Mail

An absolutely fantastic storyteller

—— Katherine Webb

Brilliant escapism

—— Red

Breathtaking

—— Iona Grey

Atmospheric, heart-rending and multi-layered

—— Grazia

One of the strongest authors in this genre . . . excellent historical detail, heart-wrenching romance, and an engaging mystery
