Synopsis

Neighborhood tensions reach a breaking point in the finale of New York Times bestselling author Mary Monroe\'s captivating series. Across the Way sweeps readers back to 1930s Alabama and into the lives of two neighboring couples whose deceitful friendships and imperfect marriages are just the beginning of their troubles...\r\n\r\nIn this captivating Depression-era set novel by New York Times bestselling author Mary Monroe, two couples find their grudges endangering more than their Alabama small town\'s deceptive peace...\r\n\r\nWhen good-time couple Milton and Yvonne Hamilton moved one house over from the respectable-but-restless Odell and Joyce Watson, it was a fast friendship of shared secrets—and secret jealousies and betrayals. Their alliance was bound to crash and burn, but the Hamiltons won\'t quite let the flame die out, even after scandalous accusations get them arrested...\r\n\r\nOdell would do anything to be free of his bootlegging, blackmailing, money extorting neighbors and recover the peaceful—and financially prosperous—life he and Joyce once had. But Milton and Yvonne seem to always bounce back from bad luck, and this time they\'ve returned angrier, and greedier, than ever. Determined to get what Odell \"owes\" them, the Hamiltons have a big surprise for Joyce too, one that shows how far they will go to get revenge...\r\n\r\nNow pushed past his breaking point, Odell is sure he\'s got a foolproof plan to end the scheming once and for all. But it soon spirals into lies, shattering violence, and permanent damage that will roil their tranquil community, and alter his and Joyce\'s world forever...
