SYNOPSIS
In this 5th installment of the Bennett Sisters Mysteries (beginning with Blackbird Fly), attorney Merle Bennett goes to France for an extended stay to drink in the essence of ‘la France Profonde’ and write her own novel.
But the countryside is not as tranquil as she hoped. A missing Frenchman, a sinister one, an elderly one, a thieving one, and a vandalizing one: all conspire to turn Merle’s sojourn of reflection into a nightmare of worry. Where is Pascal, her French boyfriend? Who is the man with the terrible scar? Why is someone spray-painting her little stone house in the Dordogne? And will her novel about the French Revolution – snippets of which are included – give her a soupçon of delight or a frisson of danger?

The Frenchman is as much a mystery novel as it is an exploration into the personal life of an author.
The Frenchman is a delightful stroll through a grove of mystery, with a woven path through a light French countenance that makes for a formidable leisure read.
I started this book, it just got better and better.
We get a look behind the scenes of some of the best known wine areas in France.
This is a great mystery, set among the vineyards of France and pretty golden coloured villages of the Dordogne, perfect for a late summer getaway
Wonderful mix of mystery and historical fiction in a picturesque French setting, with its charms and dangers.
It’s an absorbing story. It doesn’t give a twee, rose-coloured view of life in France, such as appears rather too frequently in cozies and chick lit, but presents it warts and all.
It’s all very human and convincing.
I loved the author writing style.
The book is told from multiple POV’s which I really enjoyed. I love in a mystery when you can see different parts of the story all come together.
I liked that the series does follow a set of sisters and after reading this book I am intrigued to read the rest.
This book was a pleasant escape with some mystery thrown in to the second half. Definitely worth a read.
I found The Frenchman to be a delightful, intriguing, and fun story.
It was quite interesting at how it all ended.
In my opinion, it is one other readers should add to their wish list. I look forward to more of this series and more books by Lise McClendon in the future.”
I enjoyed the mystery part of the story. The author brings to life the countryside of France.
