Double Lives

Lexington, Alabama, Book 4

De: Mary Monroe

Narrado por: Shari Peele

The latest twist-filled novel in award-winning New York Times bestselling author Mary Monroe’s Depression-era Alabama saga tells the riveting tale of identical twin sisters with a talent for switching lives and hiding the scandalous results—until one risk too many changes the game forever.

Since childhood, identical twins Leona and Fiona Dunbar have been getting in—and out—of trouble by pretending to be each other. Yet underneath, they couldn’t be more different.

Outspoken Leona lives to break rules, have a good time, and scandalize their respectable hometown of Lexington. Fiona is a seemingly demure churchgoing girl who is the apple of her domineering, widowed mother Mavis’s eye. But together, the twins have fooled teachers, boyfriends, bosses, racist police—and most importantly, straitlaced Mavis. Even when Leona does jail time for Fiona, their unbreakable bond keeps them fiercely loyal.

So when Fiona feels stifled in her passionless marriage, and Leona is heartbroken over losing her one true love, it’s perfect timing to change places once again Leona is shocked to discover she enjoys the security of being a wife and homebody. And the unexpected spark between her and Fiona’s husband is giving her all kinds of deliciously sexy ideas.

Meanwhile, Fiona enjoys being free, single, and reveling in the independence she’s never had. And the more she indulges her secret, long-repressed wild child, the more Leona’s ex-lover becomes one temptation she’s having trouble resisting

As the sisters’ masquerade ignites desires and appetites they never expected, it also puts their most damning secrets on the line. Once the fallout rocks their small town, can Fiona and Leona’s deep sisterhood shield them from total disaster and help them reconcile their mistakes? Or will the trust between them become a weapon that shatters their lives for good?

Fiona Fiona

I think this has been my favorite out of the series. In the beginning I hated how Leona took the blame for everything Fiona did, but in the end it all worked out.

Mary Monroe does it again!

I absolutely love all of Mary Monroe’s books. She takes you to a place you may have never been. All the characters entertain me; some you may love, and others have a strong dislike. I am a Gen X, and I can picture the old scenes that I never witnessed. Thank you, Mary Monroe!! I appreciate your hard work!!!

The ending was a shocker

Out of the Lexington, AL series, Mrs. Wiggins and Double Lives is my all time favorite!!!! This story was well written and kept me interested from beginning to the end! Mary Monroe knows how to pull you in and keep your interest on what’s going to happen next! I cannot wait to read/listen to more!!!

Love Love Loved it

As usual Mary Monroe did not disappoint, loved the twist and turns, the humor, the vivid descriptions that transported the reader back to the early 1900s… the narrator too did an amazing job ❤️

the narrator's tone and pitch

I didn't like the end... of course! I wish Fiona could have fought Bunny Sue off and lived. However... THIS WAS AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING BOOK!!!
