My Review:
Four Stars
Received from France Book Tours for an honest review
I really like romantic
suspense so “The Girl in the Empty Dress” by Lise McClendon was an enjoyable
read for me. Although I did not read “Blackbird
Fly” the first book in this series, I did not feel like I could not follow the
story and it did not stop me from enjoying it. The author provides beautiful descriptions of
the French countryside. A couple of occurrences
throw our protagonist, Merle, into some situations. There is a family visit, a mysterious dog and
a handsome Frenchman, Pascal.
This was a perfect
summer read: it had mystery, romance, the complexities of family relations and
the beautiful countryside in France.
This was a fun and light read. I
enjoyed this fun story. The author’s writing was engaging and I loved how the
different storylines were interconnected.
I recommend and enjoyed this story.
PRAISE FOR BLACKBIRD FLY
In her first stand-alone suspense novel, Lise McClendon reaches deep
into the past to find a France untouched by the outside world of tourism
and fashion. Writing in a “lyrical, often humorous style,” she brings
both the pain and rewards of rebirth and the rich French countryside to
life.
The descriptions of the French village and
house make them a character. Blackbird Fly has love and intrigue, and
proof that family bonds are strong enough to reach beyond the grave. —LuxuryReading.com
