Love, Honor, Betray by Mary Monroe (A Book Review)

Lies, deceit, and cover-ups are interwoven into the lives of Jessie and Hubert Wiggins; all while trying to maintain honorable public reputations.

Jessie Wiggins couldn’t imagine that her being the new Mrs. Wiggins involved living a double life.

Hubert Wiggins believes he found a sweet spot on both sides of his double life.

When several incidents threatens to upend their good standing in their community, Jessie and Hubert navigates through the turmoil to keep their reputations intact.

This is the third installment of the Lexington, Alabama series. I liked this slightly better than the previous book, Empty Vows. I appreciated some of the resolutions to some of the underlying issues that were introduced in the previous books.

There was a major twist that provided a great element of surprise. I expected more fallout from all the shenanigans of both Jessie and Hubert. This book fell short of what I am used to getting from a Mary Monroe novel. The conclusion was wrapped up neatly despite all the crazy events that was sprinkled throughout book.

Even though this book didn’t quite grab me fully, I’ll continue reading the series with the fourth book, Double Lives. Fingers crossed.

Rating 8/10
