Five sisters named Bennett… Wait. Five Bennett
sisters, like that Jane Austen classic? Why, yes. Except
these are all lawyers and grown up, married, widowed,
and divorced. Not looking for husbands to save them,
thank you very much. I did have some fun in this novel,
referencing the bad behavior of certain Pride and PrejudiceÂ
characters, as well as riffing on the gothic novel with a
creepy old country house, a massive rainstorm, and a
mysterious death. I hope you have as much
fun with it as I did.  — Lise McClendon
