Publisher's summary

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. . .

Whimsical!

This was an unusual series of lies, twists, and turns. I loved the voice the reader used for Jessie. The terminology the author used was hilarious! I didn’t realize that I missed the era in life when you could keep your house unlocked. That was a warm memory. I enjoyed this book. I’m surely a Mary Monroe fan!!!

Great from start to finish!

I loved the plot twist at the end. Great book from start to finish. The growth and development of the characters are refreshing.

Great ending to the Trilogy!

I absolutely loved this series! I'm glad all but one thing was finally out in the open! Wishing Herbert and Jessie nothing but the best!

Twists and turns throughout

Very entertaining once you get past Jessie’s voice. For some reason she sounds older and has a more southern accent than Hubert.

However this turned out to be a very good listen with all the drama!

What a great finale

Mary Monroe never disappoints, she is my favorite author. This was a great ending to the series. The plot keeps you interested and wanting more.
