Abbie Thorpe, a confident and ambitious young woman, had dreams of making it big one day; dreams that died with her in a tragic house fire.

Fire investigator Freya Redfern is given the task of determining the cause of the fire. Troubled by aspects of the scene, Freya can’t help but feel there’s more to it than a terrible accident. Detective Sargeant Harry Gardman isn’t so sure. Determined that the case be properly investigated, Freya sets about finding enough evidence to convince him of the fire’s deliberate origins.

Forming an unlikely partnership, the pair work together to uncover a truth which nobody could have foreseen.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Susan Handley grew up in England, in the Midlands and despite a love of literature, and crime fiction in particular, she never dreamt of being able to carve out a career as a published writer. But the desire to write never left her and after years of writing by night she has at last been able to share the results of her efforts.

Susan now lives in a small village in rural Kent with her husband and two cats. When she's not indulging in her love of writing crime fiction she loves walking (the hillier the better), bike riding (the flatter the better) and tending her veggie patch.

Susan is the author of two crime series: the DC Cat McKenzie series, which include: A Confusion of Crows, Feather and Claw, The Body Politic, and Close to Death; and the DI Matt Fisher series, of which the first Paid in Blood is currently available.

Susan has also produced two short story collections: Crime Bites Volume 1 and Volume 2. Full of bite-size crime stories there's bound to be something to suit all tastes.

    Interesting story about fire investigator, Freya Redfern. When she is on the scene of a tragic home fire, she finds discrepancies with the cause of the fire per the police findings.
    Freya is determined to get answers about this fire. As she begins to investigate, she shares her findings with Detective Sergeant Harry Gardman. She has a difficult time persuading him that something is way off about the cause of the fire.
    There is so much going on once they work together to uncover the truth.
    The ending was perfect in that I could finally know exactly what happened.

    Smoke screen by Susan Handley.
    I really enjoyed this book. Twisty and gripping. I couldn't put it down. I read this in two sittings. I certainly didn't see that coming. What a twist. I did like Freya and how persistent she was. I thought I knew who it was, but I was so wrong. My jaw was on the floor. I did like how Freya got her suspect in the end. I wasn't sure how I felt about the ending.
