Where There's Smoke is the first book in the Mysteries of Blackberry Valley fiction series.
Hannah Prentiss has barely opened the doors of the Hot Spot, her new restaurant in Blackberry Valley's old firehouse, when she receives a lukewarm review from a local food critic. She's determined to prove him wrong--and to prove to herself that she has what it takes to run a successful business.
But then Hannah hears about a fire in the home of her friend, Miriam Spencer. She doesn't hesitate to reach out and help, along with other members of her church's women's group. During the cleanup process, Hannah discovers a secret compartment under the scorched floorboards of Miriam's living room.
Inside is an exquisite ruby brooch that Miriam and her son claim to know nothing about. But there's evidence that somebody in Blackberry Valley does. As Hannah works to discover the origin of the brooch, she finds secrets that have been buried at least as long as it has. But what will be the cost of revealing them?
Welcome to the Hot Spot...where the food is fresh and the mysteries are delicious!After years away, Hannah Prentiss finally returns home to the charming village of Blackberry Valley. She transforms a former firehouse into the Hot Spot--a warm and welcoming place for townsfolk and travelers alike to enjoy meals made with fresh ingredients from local Kentucky farms. But running a new restaurant, reconnecting with loved ones, and forging new friendships around every corner aren't the only things Hannah is doing these days. When mysteries start cropping up, she finds that solving them is just as satisfying as fulfilling her culinary dreams!
