A Kleigh Briggs Mystery
When a devastating fire tears through the Whitchurch Club, Detective Constable Kleigh Briggs and her partner Oliver Davies are called to what appears to be a straightforward case of arson.
But beneath the ashes lies something far more dangerous.
As rumours spread through the village, long-buried secrets begin to surface. A missing solicitor, a hidden inheritance, and the mysterious Blackwood family draw Kleigh into a decades-old mystery that many believed had been forgotten.
With help from Detective Sergeant Evelyn Hart and local farmer Mitch Holloway, the investigation uncovers a trail of lies stretching back more than seventy years.
What began as a fire soon becomes a race to uncover the truth before it is lost forever.
As old wounds reopen and dangerous obsessions come to light, Kleigh must confront a chilling reality:
Some secrets are worth killing for.
And some people will burn an entire village's history to keep them hidden.
Set in the heart of rural Hampshire, Smoke Over Whitchurch is a gripping mystery of family, loyalty, betrayal and redemption.
