About this audiobook
The daughter of a prostitute mother and an alcoholic father, Maggie Franklin knew her only way out was to marry someone upstanding and church-going. Someone like Hubert Wiggins, the most eligible man in Lexington, Alabama—and
the son of its most revered preacher. Proper and prosperous, Hubert is glad to finally have a wife, even one with Maggie’s background. For Hubert has a secret he desperately needs to stay hidden. And Maggie’s unexpected charm, elegance,
and religious devotion makes her the perfect partner in lies …
Their surprising union makes the Wiggins’ the town’s most envied couple— complete with a son, Claude, whom Maggie idolizes. Until he falls in love with the worst possible fiancée. Terrified, Maggie won’t let Daisy destroy her son. And
when her employer’s brother sexually harasses her, Maggie knows something needs to be done about him as well. In fact, she realizes there are an awful lot of sinning “disruptive” people who should be eliminated from her perfect world …
But the more Maggie tries to take control, the more obstacles are thrown in her way. And when it seems like the one person she always expected to be there is starting to drift away, Maggie will play one final, merciless game to secure what
she’s fought so hard to earn …

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5If you ever thought you could judge a book by it's cover... then you are going to be surprisingly mistaken! Mrs. Wiggins, the character, is one to be reckoned with and Mrs. Wiggins, the audiobook, will leave you listening for more. I was definitely shaking my head and thinking out loud... "Somebody, come get your friend... she needs an intervention!"
Mary Monroe did her thing writing this book. I loved how well she developed each character and created the settings authentically to the era; it was so easy to create mind movies and watch the story unfold. Great Read!
