The Bennett Sisters Mysteries

Five sisters. Five lawyers. Eight adventures in international travel, romance, mystery, and intrigue.



The tales of these five lawyer/sisters begins when the middle sister, Merle, finds that her late husband has left her a property in France that he never mentioned. So off she goes on her first adventure in France with her teenage son in tow, desperate to start a new chapter in her life. This is Blackbird Fly.



The stories here, eight in all, continue, mostly in France but all featuring one or more of the five Bennett Sisters and a lot of suspense, wine, delicious food, and handsome men.
