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 McClendons Bennett sisters collection. I began reading them in order of course and read slower and slower as I didnt want them to end. Ms McClendons 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
