Publisher Description

In this 12th installment to her New York Times bestselling Miss Julia series, Ann B. Ross tickles the funny bone while touching the heart. Although Miss Julia vows to mind her own business for a change, she can't help investigating the possible murder of her financial reputation-and of the dead person in the toolshed. But the sudden arrival of Hazel Marie's twins during a raging blizzard brings a whole new set of challenges and a double helping of trouble for Ross' indomitable Southern heroine.

"Definitely my favorite in the Miss Julia series!! There was so much more humour and the narrator, Cynthia Darlow, was the best she has been in the series. A new addition to Miss Julia's circle adds to new dimensions to the characters and paves the way for future fun."

    " Ann Ross makes me want to meet Miss Julia and every book this woman i admire more "

    " I really enjoy the characters in this series. This twelfth book finds most of my favorites in their typical places. Hazel Marie is expecting twins and Miss Julia has arranged for Etta Mae to come and assist before and after their birth. A dead body showing up in the toolshed of little Lloyd's teacher's house launches Miss Julia into her typical take charge and figure it out mode along with her very reluctant assistant, Lillian. It all proves too much for Sam and causes considerable friction between Miss Julia and Sam. Miss Julia's efforts to resolve things is entertaining. "

    " Hazel Marie's twins arrive during a snowstorm and Miss Julia tries to find out why a dead body was found in Lloyd's teacher's tool shed. Another fun read from Ann Ross. "

    " That Miss Julia is always getting into trouble despite her telling herself that she won't. I have thoroughly enjoyed each of Ann B. Ross's books on Miss Julia and her friends and family. I can't wait for another of Ms Ross's books to come out. "

    " Unfortunately I believe that Ann Ross has simply run out of story. The earlier books are fun and the characters likable. This is more of the same but not all that well done. The story just ... ended. I honestly didn't see the point at all. "

    " This book is a cut above some of the latest in this series. Enjoyable, funny, not as good as the first, but then I find few books in a series that do surpass the first. This one gets close to 'as good as'. "

    " I love all Miss Julia books. This is her latest and did not disappoint. But if Miss Julia is supposed to be such a staunch Presbyterian, the author would do well to portray accurately the doctrine if infant baptism. "
