Mary Monroe is the only author who can bring me out of a reading Hiatus. This is her 6th and Final installment in the Lexington, Alabama series and just finishing the prologue, she continues to reel readers instantly in (as she has always done) ever since her very first novel, "The Upper Room." I LOVE Everything she has published. 🩷💗
