The long awaited sequel to Blackbird Fly is here.
Merle Bennett is turning fifty, and her four sisters are helping her celebrate by going to France on a walking tour of the Dordogne. But one sister invites along a law colleague whose annoying ways upset what Merle had hoped would be just 'wine, women, and walking.' When Gillian Sargent, the sixth wheel, finds an injured dog beside the road the idyllic summer vacation takes a dark and dangerous turn. Why is the dog special? Who is after her? And what will they do to get the dog back?
Truffles, wine, romance, and intrigue in the heart of France.
All five Bennett sisters are lawyers. One is writing a blog about their trip, baring family details. As the intrigue heats up, one of Merle's boyfriends shows up from New York while her French boyfriend arrives unexpectedly. The delicate karma of sisterhood is rife with bickering, tears, and French law as the questions about Gillian Sargent pile up. Who exactly is she? What is she hiding? And where the hell has she gone with the dog?
Do you love women's suspense? Are you a not-so-secret lover of all things French? Come along on a trip to France with the Bennett sisters.
Praise for Blackbird Fly, the first Bennett Sisters novel:
"This was a fabulous book. There was drama, love, obsession, murder, betrayal and plenty of surprises. A lovely, layered tale of a woman's struggle after had husband dies and she is left to make sense of the financial irregularity he has left behind. This is one of the best novels that I have read this year."
"I really enjoyed the way the writer wove this story. I enjoyed the characters, the settings, the emotions, the mysteries and the romance. Made me reflect on my own life, my values and what's important."
"A little something for everyone. Adventure, interesting characters, (non-syrupy) romance and a satisfying end. Although I think this book is mostly apealling to women, it had enough adventure and suspense to appeal to the male reading public as well."
"Such a great story, the story kept a good pace and the characters were engaging. I read it in day. The author knows how to tell a story."
"If the life you knew changed in an instant, would you cling to what you had, or risk letting go of what you to know in search of who you might become? That is the central theme in this enjoyable read with an interesting cast of characters. Would love a sequel just to see what choices the various characters make."
And the sequel is finally here. Read The Girl in the Empty Dress to go back to France with Merle and her sisters. Will she choose her nice, stable lawyer boyfriend or last year's fling, Pascal? Will her sisters be there for her or let her make her own mistakes? Find out about all five sisters and that mysterious friend in this exciting sequel to Blackbird Fly.
