Publisher Description

Some unwelcome newcomer claims that Miss Julia's beloved Little Lloyd is not her philandering late husband's son. Her new husband recommends performing a DNA test... on, perhaps, the dead man's hair? Or, even worse, his gallstones. Seventh in the series.

"Another good read, however, not quite as gripping and involved as those prior. Only one major plot here, concerning Little Lloyd's parentage, with a minor subplot which never really gets developed very well, concerning Miss Julia's leadership at her church. However, there is a great flashback to a story we never were told before, the family's first Christmas together, which is a wonderful sidebar taking a good chunk of the book. I'm already into the next!"

    " The narration and time frame of this cozy was incongruous. The voice and vocabulary read like it is set in the Victorian age so imagine my surprise when pop culture references about George Clooney and Tupperware appeared. It has its moments but if it had not been a selection in one of my book clubs I probably wouldn't have finished it. "

    " I am listening to this book on my MP3 player. It was just one I grabbed off the shelf, but I guess there are about eight in this series about Miss Julia. I picked it up on a whim because the pickins are slim at our little library, but so far it's pretty good. "

    " I enjoyed this book as I have all the Miss Julia books but the character the Rev. Vern Puckett wasn't very realistic and was more like a cartoon character. It didn't seem realistic that Hazel Marie would be intimidated by this Puckett person like she was. It's still a worthwhile read though. "

    " so far of all the miss julia I have read this is my least favorite. Partly because of the passion party, but largely due to a big part of the book being memories from the beginning. Even though none of it is repeats from the first book, I just don't find it too captivating. "

    " This book has some laugh out loud moments. After reading this one I will try another Miss Julia book. It revolves around a Southern Christian lady. Themes of redemption and the role of women in the church make it a possible book club read. "
