The follow-up to Ann B. Ross’s beloved debut that kicked off the New York Times bestselling series. Look out for Ann Ross’s newest, Miss Julia Raises the Roof, coming April 2018 from Viking. When Miss Julia burst on the scene in her fictional debut, Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind, this proper lady of a certain age found her orderly world turned upside down when Hazel Marie Puckett appeared with her … Marie Puckett appeared with her nine-year-old son, Little Lloyd, who looked disturbingly similar to Miss Julia’s late husband. Now, in Miss Julia Takes Over, with her sharp tongue and iron backbone intact, Miss Julia must tackle another disruption when Hazel Marie doesn’t return from a dinner date with a fund-raiser who, in Miss Julia’s opinion, wears his shorts too tight. Frantic and unable to persuade the local police that Hazel Marie is in danger, Miss Julia hires J. D. Pickens to investigate, despite her reservations about his taste for beer and women. She and Little Lloyd help search for Hazel Marie, running into adventures ranging from a most indelicate display of fisticuffs to a high-speed car chase on the track of a NASCAR Speedway, all the while standing strong …because if Miss Julia doesn’t take care of things, who will?
Fast paced, funny, and full of colorful characters you’ll want to meet again and again, Miss Julia Takes Over is a zany race through the South you’ll not soon forget.

Stories with 60+ year old female protagonists are few. Julia is quite the character. This series has characters, plot lines, and settings that amuse without vulgar language, a refreshing way to lose yourself in a story.
I love the wonderful antics of the Miss Julia books. I laugh continuously as I read them. You never know what she will get into next! They are uplifting and funny! If you want to start a series that will keep you in stitches, read these delightful books by Ann B. Ross. You will not be disappointed.
Wonderful, entertaining series. Julia is a hoot. I recognize different friends of my Mother’s in the women in this series. Great entertaining reading!
