Publisher Description

When Miss Julia learns that jewel thieves have targeted her town, she simply won't stand for it. She heads to Palm Beach for sun, sand, and a stakeout of these rude people. With Etta Mae Wiggins along for the ride and a positively sodden P.I. on retainer,

"Lots of fun reading about how Miss Julia solves the case in spite of the private detective she hires, and in spite of the federal investigators working on the case. A delightful opportunity to get to know Miss Wiggins better, and Lloyd is his usual precious insightful self. I missed more of Sam, Hazel Marie and Mr. Pickens, and Lillian gets less attention as well. But, a fun read nevertheless, and of course I've already started the next!"

    " The heroine of this series is eccentric but smart. She is prickly but has solid relationships with a few key people. She respects intelligence but has little patience for people who are inconsiderate, take shortcuts or do not use their brains. I find her amusing and the plots nicely woven. "

    " This was a fun book to read. It is just a cute story. It is the first of her books I have read and she obviously has written a bunch of books about the character in this book. It's just a quick fun read. Just right for vacation reading. "

    " Miss Julia stories are always fun, although this was probably my least favorite. Miss Julia is almost scary at times in her almost militant handling of the alcoholic detective she hires. Favorite scene is Miss Julia's first trip to Target and her first purchase of pants! "
