Bricks And Mortality: Campbell & Carter 3 - Plot & Excerpts
The barn itself still existed but, she saw, had not been turned into a fashionable country home, as had so many other old barns. She wondered about its use now. She wasn’t the first visitor. There were two cars parked before the cottage already, one with a blue badge in the windscreen. That could be Petra’s, and the other belonged to someone else, which was a pity. She’d hoped to find Petra alone. She rapped at the brass horseshoe-shaped knocker. The door was opened almost at once by a very fit-looking woman in her mid to late thirties. She wore her thick dark-blond hair bobbed; and was dressed seasonably and country-fashion in a quilted navy body-warmer, peacock blue sweater and jeans. ‘Petra Stapleton?’ asked Jess cautiously. If so, this was not what she’d been expecting. ‘No, I’m Petra’s sister, Katherine, usually called Kit. Who are you?’ Kit Stapleton assessed Jess rapidly. ‘Journalist?’ ‘No, I’m a police officer, Inspector Jessica Campbell. I’m leading the enquiries into the death and fire at Key House.’ Jess produced her warrant card.
