Publisher's summary

In the latest in Ann B. Ross' New York Times best-selling series, Miss Julia finds herself an executrix on a desperate hunt for a valuable collectible amid a jumble of the estate's antiques, and if she finds a prize she can honor Miss Mattie's last wishes.

When Miss Julia hears that Miss Mattie Freeman has taken a fall and is in the hospital, she wishes she'd spent more time getting to know the woman - and not just because she's last to hear about the accident! So when the tumble proves fatal, the last thing Miss Julia expects is a phone call from Ernest Sitton, Attorney at Law. Suddenly, Miss Julia finds herself the executrix of Miss Mattie's estate, and from what Ernest has to say, Miss Mattie's coffers weren't exactly full.

Determined to find something of value for Miss Mattie's beneficiaries, Miss Julia is faced with a room full of clutter that's now hers to disperse. With the lovelorn caretaker Etta Mae Wiggins working overtime, her good friend Mildred Allen on bed rest, and Helen Stroud cataloging Miss Mattie's furniture, Miss Julia soon realizes she's got a million things to do to honor her friend's last wishes. Thank goodness for Miss Mattie's handsome young neighbor, Nate Wheeler, who's ever ready to help out, and of course for Sam, who's always willing to lend an ear. But when a young man claiming to be Miss Mattie's great-nephew turns up, demanding to live in her apartment while he writes a family history, Miss Julia will find herself closer to Mattie Freeman and her mysterious family than ever before.

In this 17th installment in the Miss Julia series, Ann B. Ross delivers another hilarious and bighearted novel celebrating the South's favorite steel magnolia and the unforgettable residents of Abottsville.

Fun, but...

I love this series, but this book was a little tiresome. Not as many fun colloquial phrases....

Loved It

Finished this book during a time of grief for my family. It was a very pleasant diversion. The character development and storyline were some of the best in the series for me.

Miss Julia never disappoints.

Although this wasn't as good as her other books I found this book to be very enjoyable. It was exciting and hilarious.

Cynthia Darlow is spot-on

I love the Miss Julia books but this is s favorite. I laughed out loud many times, and Darlow could not be any better at capturing the accents and the characters. I was sorry it had to end!

Julia's Mess

The book was entertaining, drawing me into the humorous antics of the main character and Etta Mae. There was one instance when it seemed, though, that the characters ' behaviors were switched. Even with that, it was one of my favourite books of the series.
