The Frenchman, Hardback Book

The Frenchman Hardback

Part of the Bennett Sisters Mysteries series

Hardback

Description

Ooh-la-la, who doesn't love a Frenchman? 

Merle Bennett goes back to France -- and her Frenchman -- in this fifth installment of the Bennett Sisters mysteries. Sure that La Belle France will cure all her ills, and help her write a novel about the French Revolution, she sets out to prove her theory correct. Pascal, her Frenchman, scoffs at this. As a policeman he knows France is pretty to look at but not all that pretty under the surface. 

While Merle writes and renovates her stone cottage, Pascal encounters an old enemy, a man he put in prison years before. When Pascal disappears Merle isn't sure if their relationship is over, or something terrible has happened. 

'The Frenchman' includes chapters of Merle's novel, a glimpse into life during the turmoil of the Revolution. With goats and a handsome stranger! Read the finished version of Merle's novel, 'Odette and the Great Fear.'

A soupçon of danger, a brush with 'madame guillotine,' and the quirky characters of the French countryside, all collide in this new installment of the Bennett Sisters Mysteries, set in la belle France-- where, obviously, wine, sunshine, sunflowers, and Frenchmen cure all ills. Or do they?

Rarely do I rate books because usually I find something, maybe small, but something could have been better. Not so for Lise McClendon's Bennett sisters collection. I began reading them in order, of course, and read slower and slower, as I didn't want them to end. Ms McClendon's characters are so believable, interesting, and fun. The plots never disappointed, were delightfully unpredictable. I read a lot of womens fiction but this series stood above the rest. Hope there are more.  -- Amazon reader
