I love listening to this series. It’s light and lighthearted. Very enjoyable driving around town listening.
Miss Julia is a very proper Southern woman of a certain age. She likes nothing better than when things in Abbotsville, NC go as they should. When they don’t, she often finds herself in far more complications than she expected.
This time around a New Jersey developer wants to tear down the old courthouse building in Abbotsville and replace it with an eight story condo building. He plans to market it using the pleasant life and residents of Abbotsville as a drawing card for wealthy retirees. Miss Julia is just heartbroken at the thought of the courthouse being torn down and is determined to save it.
Before she can get very far on her plans to thwart the project, she finds herself busy due to turmoil among her friends. It seems that several of the husbands among her circle of friends are missing or acting strangely. Pretty soon, she starts wondering if her husband Sam might be up to something she should be concerned about.
The usual cast of quirky and eccentric characters is on hand to both assist Julia in her well intentioned, but misguided as usual meddling.

I have of these books sitting on the shelf waiting to be read. I think I'm saving it for a time when I need some gentle humor in my life. Sounds like audio would be a great way to go.
Framed: I read the first 2 as books with a book club, but I've really enjoyed listening to the rest of them. You might want to give it a shot.
