Can a two-career couple really pick up stakes and move to Provence?
Keith and Val had a dream – to live in Provence, the land of brilliant sunlight, charming hilltop villages and the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean. But there were two problems: they weren’t French speakers and they had full-time jobs. So they came up with a plan…
Follow their adventures (and misadventures) as they quit their jobs, become consultants and split their time betweKeithen two countries. Laugh along as they build a life in Provence, slowly mastering a new language and making friends with the locals over long meals and just a bit too much wine.
If you’ve ever dreamed of changing gears and learning what joie de vivre is really all about, you won’t want to miss this delightful book.
In this seventh installment of the Bennett Sisters Mysteries, Francie goes to Paris when she is accused of wrongdoing in her law office. She has received a mysterious letter connecting her ex-husband to an American student jailed for drug crimes. A chance encounter with an old boyfriend makes her spring in Paris more exciting but between the accusations against her at home, and the difficulty of doing any good in Paris, things are never smooth for a Bennett sister in France.
Works fine as a stand-alone

but a francophile scribbler
who enjoys imagining different lives, loves, and adventures.
Her first mystery, The Bluejay Shaman, was published in 1994. She lives in Montana.
“Lise created a real sense of place with the setting of this book and I could easily imagine myself in Paris.
I enjoyed Francie’s sense of discovery and chance of romance that Paris gave her, but as always in this series of books it’s the twists and turns of the investigation that I love.”
“Croissants, Cherry Bloom, Espresso – the story is just peppered with all thing typical to Paris. Not that I’m complaining though! The story is well paced out and has the right kind of twists and turns in place to keep it an engaging read.
The characterization is just perfect.”
“I love how the author describes the setting.
I enjoyed Francie’s story in Blame it on Paris. I found it to be delightful, intriguing, and fun.
I would recommend this book for readers who enjoy a good and quick mystery.”
“Paris may be the city of love and lights, but contemporary Parisian life has its feet in our real world.
As an up to the minute mystery, the author knows what she is doing. As a love story, this book shines. Together, they weave a spell you don’t want to end anytime soon. Mystery and Love: what else do you need to escape? Highly recommended”
“Blame It On Paris is the seventh book in the Bennett Sisters Mysteries and it is just as phenomenal as the previous six.
This is one of those books that you just can’t put down. The Bennett sisters are a mixed bag of personalities that you both love and hate, who experience hardship, love, failures, and triumphs, and fight like only sisters can do. There is a little bit of mystery, intrigue, humor, and romance on each page. With a well-written storyline, engaging characters, and the background setting of Paris, this is a must-read book.”
