One House Over

De: Mary Monroe

Narrado por: Kentra Lynn, James Shippy

New York Times best-selling author Mary Monroe returns to the 1930s era of her acclaimed novel The Upper Room with a dazzling portrait of two very different couples whose friendship and fast times are no match for shattering betrayal.

A solid marriage, a thriving business, and the esteem of their close-knit Alabama community - Joyce and Odell Watson have every reason to count their blessings. Their marriage has given well-off Joyce a chance at the family she's always wanted - and granted Odell a once-in-a-lifetime shot to escape grinding poverty. But all that respectability and status comes at a cost. Just once, Joyce and Odell want to break loose and taste life's wild side, without consequences.

When their new neighbors turn out to be high-steppin' bootleggers Milton and Yvonne Hamilton, the Watsons plunge headlong into good times and fast living. For Joyce, Yvonne is someone she can show off to - and look down on. And Odell won't introduce crude, unsophisticated Milton to his friends - but is happy to let Milton ply him with free booze and good times. Milton hates being slighted and disrespected, and he's determined to do something about it. When Milton inadvertently discovers Odell's scandalous double life with a long-term mistress, he decides this is the perfect chance to wreck the Watsons' perfect world.

Cliffhanger!

Good story that kept me engaged for the entire book. The ending definitely leaves you wanting more.

Better

I actually enjoyed this book from Ms Monroe. It made me laugh out loud, cover my mouth in embarrassment and feel a host of other emotions. Great job. I’m looking forward to the other books in the series.

Loved It!

I loved this book - I am always here for Mary Monroe novels and Kendra Lynn's narrations! This book not only held my attention, but made me laugh. Was mad when it ended - Please hurry with book 2!!

Cool

Cool story, start a little slow picks up towards the end.
...not sure if I recommend or purchase the sequel. it’s hopefully the next book will hold me in suspense enough to keep me reading a little quicker.

(ALWAYS LOVE kentra Lynn narrating)
