Something is being planned at Brackenhall Estate - and whoever is behind it is hoping no one looks too closely.
When Chloe Clews begins helping out at the old coastal estate, she expects odd jobs and sea air. Instead, she and her friends start noticing things that don't add up. Workmen who whisper. Access to areas that have nothing to do with any repairs. Something is going on at Brackenhall - and it isn't maintenance.
With her brother Cam, sharp-eyed Felix, and fearless Pickles, Chloe forms an unlikely detective group - The Secret Shore Four - and starts asking the questions no one else will.
Whatever is being planned at Brackenhall could cost the estate dearly. Stopping it will take courage, teamwork, and the willingness to speak up when it matters most.
