Overview Ratings & Reviews

Behind the golden stone walls of a village in southwest France, American Merle Bennett finds solace from her grief while renovating her late husband’s ancestral home. But things don’t go as planned. Soon any calm she feels in her French summer is overshadowed by secrets from the past. A crumbling house, a deranged squatter, unpleasant and sometimes violent villagers, a surprise in the garden -- it makes a girl almost wish for the sleepy suburbs. But Merle can’t go home until all is resolved, one way or another.

In Blackbird Fly, her first suspense novel, Lise McClendon reveals her love of both the French countryside and family drama. Her style has been described as “lyrical, often humorous” and her mysteries have been praised as “richly detailed... quite simply gets to your heart” and “full of twisty plot-turns and unforgettable characters.”
