About this audiobook

Award-winning New York Times bestselling author Mary Monroe delivers the latest thrillingly scandal-filled novel in her Depression-era saga of a church-going lady and her oh-so-upstanding husband racing to cover up their many sins—and gambling on one scheme too many …

With mysterious serial murders putting peaceful Lexington, Alabama, on edge, Jessie and Hubert Wiggins’ steadfast calm and devotion to each other reassures everyone that faith will see them through. But Jessie and Hubert have paid a terrible hidden cost to maintain their devout facade and respectable standing.
Nothing can allay the guilt they feel—or stop the growing distrust between them …

Hubert thought he and his secret lover, Leroy, could continue seeing each other on the down-low in peace. But when Leroy’s ex-wife moves back in with him, a heartbroken Hubert is driven to distraction trying to keep Jessie in the dark—and quell his mounting jealousy. And his need for satisfaction is driving Hubert
to reckless extremes—and desperate risks …

Jessie believes the struggles between her and Hubert will all be worth it if she can connive him to finally consummate their marriage—no matter what she has to do. But his erratic behavior and her frustration soon has her trying yet another new lover, who is as charming as he is unreliable—and unexpectedly dangerous …

Now with their secrets out of control—and the police perilously near—Jessie and Hubert discover who might be behind the deaths plaguing their town. But can they risk a pursuit that could expose their own web of lies? When their only choice pits them and their suspicions against each other, their next move will either
bury their deceptions deep for good—or reveal the one truth they can’t escape …

    This book was so much better than 'Empty Vows' but not as good as 'Mrs. Wiggins'. It made me laugh, angry & sad even though the ending was not believable it was still good.

    It was a good read. The author wrote it in a way, in which you wouldn't be able to guest who, what, or how? The lying back and forth between Jessie and Huebert worked my nerves... Most stories, the person would slip or be caught, not these characters.

    I read the 2 books thar lead up to this one and ohhhh my goodness!! When I say I want a book 4... this was a part of my book club read. We started with Mrs. Wiggins. I listened to this book daily and was saddened when it ended. Thanks for all the shockers! I'm going to read this one again like I did the other two. Great series!!! Please keep writing ?

    I wish it would have focused more on the killing instead of Hubert and Jessie’s deceitfulness. Good ending though
