"Miss Julia has unpleasant events thrust upon her, but she deals with them in her gracious Southern manner, while taking people down a peg. This book contains a criminal mystery involving the legal history book her husband is writing and ends with a surprise. Love these books and her hilarious way of dealing with her neighbors."
— Sue (4 out of 5 stars)

" So far, a worthy addition to this excellent series of comic novels of manners set in North Carolina with a proper but sharp-tongued sexagenerian heroine. "
— Elise, 2/17/2014 -
" Another great book in this series! Miss Julia saves the day yet again. Now I can't wait for the next one to be published. This will cover the "Part of a Series" category in Book Bingo. "
— Kelley, 2/4/2014 -
" I picked this up at the libarary not knowing it was part of a series, let alone it was #10! I wasn't lost at all and never felt like she had to force a back story to keep me up to speed with the past nine. It could have been a stand alone book. "
— Heather, 2/1/2014 -
" Another easy summer read, this was a little slower than the others in the series or maybe it was because I read the large print version! "
— Emily, 1/18/2014 -
" Another good Miss Julia read. Ann Ross does a fine job with the series. She always varies the adventure, but keep the characters. "
— Jeanne, 1/6/2014 -
" This was another good Miss Julia book. The titles of the books following kind of give the game away as to what happens next, but I look forward to reading them! "
— Jan, 1/4/2014 -
" I'm losing some of my interest in Miss Julia's antics and the books are becoming rather predictable. I did like this one better than some of the earlier ones. "
— Amy, 1/2/2014 -
" This is such a fun series - I know there's got to be another one coming since we are left hanging at bit with the ending to this one. "
— Maura, 1/2/2014 -
" This storyline seemed to drag on too long. That said, I'm waiting for the next book! "
— Laura, 12/29/2013 -
" I still giggle when I read these. "
— Lesley, 12/28/2013 -
" Love the Miss Julia series! I can't wait for the next one! "
— Mary, 12/26/2013 -
" I think I may have read some in this series a long time ago. Light, fun--like candy corn in October. "
— Jeannie, 12/18/2013 -
" I love Miss Julia books and think Cynthia Darlow is a great narrator for this series. Of all the Miss Julia books I've read/listened to so far, this was my least favorite. "
— Dona, 12/7/2013 -
" I enjoy this series, but this one was only okay. I thought it ended abruptly, without any real resolution. "
— Heidi, 12/6/2013 -
" I still love Miss Julia, but I didn't quite enjoy this book as much as the rest. It didn't seem to quite end, so I hope that another book is in the works. "
— Kim, 12/5/2013 -
" I love the Miss Julia books and this was no disappointment! "
— Kelly, 11/23/2013 -
" I actually liked it more than I thought I would and maybe it was because I listened to it on CD and it was read by a lady who had a southern accent that was just right and made Miss Julia see real and like such a fun character. "
— Wendy, 11/5/2013 -
" It's Miss Julia being Miss Julia. Fun but not life changing. "
— Diana, 10/14/2013 -
" I laughed out loud several times. Love the characters. Discovered I'd missed a couple in the series, so I'll get those to read soon. "
— Carol, 9/6/2013 -
" I always like reading these fun, no nonsense Southern lady books! "
— Kristen, 6/19/2013 -
" Miss Julia is getting tired and running out of plots. Is it time for her to retire? "
— Ken, 5/10/2013 -
" This was my 7th Miss Julia book and my least favorite. Who would believe that an author cld keep j.d. In the dark for 300 pages. I'm sick of pregnancy stories in books and tv. It seems when an writer doesn't have an idea they resort to a secret pregnancy. "
— Jean, 2/8/2013 -
" Like all the Miss Julia books, this was entertaining and a light read. These definitely follow a formula - somebody gets into some sort of trouble, Miss Julia gets it fixed - but it just works to make a good story. "
— Melissa, 11/9/2012 -
" Great finish! Loved this series - looking forward to the next, if there is one! These characters keep getting better and better! "
— Lisa, 8/28/2012 -
" The Miss Julia books are not great literature, but I certainly enjoy them for a light read. Lots of quirky characters in interesting, often quirky situations. "
— Carole, 4/30/2012 -
" This is a series which starts with the delightful Miss Julia Speaks her Mind. I must say some of the books that have followed have been a little predictable. "
— Annette, 3/30/2012 -
" Always an enjoyable read when it comes to the character of Miss Julia. "
— Kathleen, 3/3/2012 -
" Miss Julia was a nice foil to other serious things I was reading. She brightens any day. "
— Margaret, 2/12/2012 -
" I have loved all the Miss Julia books. This is just another one to add to my list. Always, fun and easy reads. After reading several "heavy" books, this was a relief! "
— Candace, 12/12/2011 -
" You just have to love Miss Julia! "
— Linda, 11/18/2011 -
" This is fun read and the southern comedy of manners is full of laughs. It combines a romance with a mystery which makes for an amusing subplot. "
— Saxon, 8/28/2011 -
" This is definitely a light-read. This is the first of this series that I have listened to. As other reviewers have noted, it is a break from heavy plotted, serious topic novels. My daughter, age 8, even got caught up in Miss Julia's meddling and shenanigans. "
— Pilar, 7/31/2011 -
" Just as great as the 9 before it and I'm off to find #11 right now! "
— Jana, 6/28/2011 -
" I actually liked it more than I thought I would and maybe it was because I listened to it on CD and it was read by a lady who had a southern accent that was just right and made Miss Julia see real and like such a fun character.<br/> "
— Wendy, 5/20/2011 -
" A pleasant read that includes humor and drama and mystery and romance. Lots of chuckles. The series must be read from the beginning to get the full picture. "
— Joanmom, 5/4/2011 -
