2.5 stars.
I love Miss Julia and I read the books mostly for her, and the other characters. But Ross is stretching her plot too thin, and this one just misses the mark. Either the missing investor or the slimy developer would have been enough. Trying to do both did a disservice to both, to Miss Julia, and to her readers. ( )

My blog post about this book is at this link. ( )

I'm still enjoying Miss Julia and her cast of wacky friends, close family and sideline adversaries! This book deals with shading property dealing, an historical courthouse along with its even more historical statue and the strange disappearance of three husbands of close friends of Miss Julia. The scene at the top of the courthouse has to be read to be believed, I was laughing out loud as I read along.

I'll keep reading as long as there are books to be read in this series. ( )

Great listen! Wonderful book to listen to! ( )

Miss Julia is delightful as usual! I thought her first experience driving a car in Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind was funny, but she literally tops that escapade here. She's out to save the courthouse from condominium blight and nothing is going to get in her way - not even a developer villain and the town council. Just plain fun. ( )
