It's Eat Pray Love meets murder mystery in Lise McClendon's deliciously cozy chronicles of sisterhood, international travel... and a soupçon of danger.

5 "This is a charming series of the adventures of 5 sisters. Merle the middle sister is the predominant focus of the books and one falls in love with her! Then we meet the rest of the clan. It is impossible to put the books down (my kind of books)! Merle's adventures alone and with her sisters are simply wonderful. There is just enough intrigue to keep one interested and to move on to the next book. I hope you find the books to be as grand as I did."

"Enjoyed getting to know the Bennet sisters and their relationships. It was nice reading about some women who have a variety of life experiences. These characters are beyond the age of 30. I think any woman would enjoy reading this but the narrator is in her 50's and I enjoyed her perspective."

A sprawling, exuberant, generous-spirited cozy mystery series with a yummy side of international adventure.

A little bit chick lit, a touch of cozy mystery, a whole lot of humor, romance, suspense -- all in one box set!

BLACKBIRD FLY - Book One

A dead husband might be sadder except that once Harry dies, his widow, Merle Bennett realizes almost immediately it was no wonder she didn't know anything about him. They'd pretty much been leading separate lives -- several of them, as it turns out. Still, the will's quite a shock. And so is an intriguing surprise -- Harry left her a family home in a tiny French village. Or maybe a family home. Because who was Harry's family? Finding out is half the fun.

Merle sets out to claim her inheritance, adolescent son in tow, and thus begins a sojourn reminiscent of A Year in Provence mixed up with something by Carolyn Hart, maybe, or M.C. Beaton. Because Malcouziac, Merle's tiny Dordogne town, is the quintessential village -- just perfect for a murder. And a rollicking good time.

THE GIRL IN THE EMPTY DRESS - Book Two

Law practice is in the Bennett sisters' blood -- along with designer suits and stilettos. But they've decided to ditch the more predictable Caribbean cruise or spa weekend at a five star hotel to celebrate Merle Bennett's 50th birthday hiking the French countryside of Dordogne. There's just one catch: Merle's little sister Francie has decided to bring along a sixth wheel: a work colleague named Gillian Sargent, whose utter aloofness wouldn't be so bad. Except she seems to be hiding something...
