Publisher's summary

A new Miss Julia novel from New York Times best-selling author Ann B. Ross is a special treat for her devoted fans as well as those new to the adventures of the titular senior citizen. This time out, the proper Southern lady has a couple doozies on her plate.

It seems that her friend Hazel’s PI husband, J.D,. has gotten himself in some trouble in West Virginia - and he’s one tirade away from landing in a jail cell. Meanwhile, a crew of misfits has followed wealthy Agnes Whitman back to Abbotsville, and they have all the makings of a crazy religious cult!

Disappointing Miss Julia

What disappointed you about Miss Julia to the Rescue?

I love the series but this one fell way short. It was homophobic and anti- any religion but mainstream. Miss Julia is way better than this story.

Would you ever listen to anything by Ann B. Ross again?

Yes, I'd try again.

Have you listened to any of Cynthia Darlow’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, Cynthia Darlow was fine.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Its always good to catch up with the characters in the story.

Any additional comments?

Give us back our open-minded Miss Julia!

Great book - Great Laughs- Couldn't put it down

Would you consider the audio edition of Miss Julia to the Rescue to be better than the print version?

I have not read the print version but I have read other Miss Julia books and I love listening to them

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Always! Miss Julia and her crazy ideas keep you laughing and intrigued

Which character – as performed by Cynthia Darlow – was your favorite?

Miss Julia. I love her in every book. Etta Mae was a close second in this particular book.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Oh absolutely. I listened to it in approx 2 - 5 hours sittings

Any additional comments?

Such a great book for any age. My grandmother, mother, and I all love them!

Charming Southern Series

Miss Julia is at it again and I loved every minute of it! Humor, the adventure in the ordinary, and yet not so ordinary, life of a Southerner lady.

Just plain bizarre

I spent most of the book consciously suspending disbelief that things could possibly have happened the way they did. As far as structure goes, there are two plot points, with a "spinoff" (subplot) of the second one.
First, Miss Julia and Etta Mae end up "rescuing" J. D. Pickens from police custody in West Virginia; he's in the local hospital doped to the gills, suffering from gunshot wounds. That whole mess would've been easily resolved in real life, by having Coleman ask the WV sheriff for a description of the guy they're holding as John Doe. Did he do that? Of course not! And then, not long after he's back home, Pickens is hosting a dinner party -- they way he was tossed about like a sack of potatoes by Julia and Etta Mae, he should've been in intensive care! The same sheriff who was close-mouthed to the point of being hostile later becomes a complete pussycat. Okay ...
Attention turns to the new "cult" in town ... wherein people are getting tattoos and piercings as part of a "religious" experience. Clearly Ms. Ross highly disapproves of this practice; I recommend she NOT consider any vacations to Seattle in the near future!
Sam, not being needed here for his propensities to utter "Oh, Julia!" and to initiate sexual activity, has been shipped off to the Holy Land with a church group. So, Miss Julia is re-doing the house in his absence, including a dedicated writing room as a surprise. The oh-so-nice evangelical young carpenter she's hired, and taken a liking to, goes missing, so she and Etta Mae have another zany outing to get him out of the clutches of the "cult" (and back to fundamentalist Christianity instead).
I understand that Miss Julia leads a relatively sheltered life, but she does come off here as highly judgmental, petty, and nasty. Frankly, one can probably skip this book altogether in the series, as there aren't any events that should affect future stories. Not particularly recommended, although Cynthia Darlow does her usual good job with the narration.

Love it!

What can I say about Miss Julia? She is a sophisticated woman probably in her 60’s but that never slows her down. She is ready to jump in and help where ever she can! Even is it put her in a precarious situation.
The only thing I am not crazy about is her accent. She is from NC but I have never heard anyone from here speak so clearly. I guess it is because she is close to Asheville NC. I live in the more rural part of NC. The way they say water is wooder. They also don’t finish the end of their word such as coco butter is cocu budda.
But now I’m getting off subject. Listen to this book, all her books and you will fall in love with the people in Abbotsville

Just love the Mrs Julia series!

Ann B Ross’s Mrs Julia series is so entertaining. Sometimes I laugh at all the antics she gets into and how everyone in the story is portrayed. Just an awesome job!

another great story from start to finish.

the problem I run into, is that the author's writing style, along with the narrator's narrating style, make it very difficult to stop at any point. they grip your attention and leave you feeling as though if you just hung on a few more minutes... never works. every moment is intriguing.

Miss Julia is on the way!

She never gives up. Ann B. Ross is brilliant in her portrayal of Miss Julia's boldness, and vulnerability. Another fun trip to Fiction Land.
