Book Overview
In the 5th installment of the New York Times bestselling Miss Julia series, Miss Julia has finally met her match. Don't miss Ann Ross's newest, Miss Julia Raises the Roof , coming April 2018 from Viking. With devoted fans across the country, Miss Julia--that endearingly sharp-tongued southern belle of a certain age--has no shortage of admirers. But in Miss Julia Meets Her Match , our feisty heroine must come to terms with her most ardent admirer of all: longtime beau Sam Murdoch, who wants to tie the knot. While it's hard to resist Sam's charm, Miss Julia isn't about to give up her independence so easily. After all, there are plenty of other matters that require her attention, including a Holy Land theme park to be built on her property, a possible affair between the mayor and the preacher's secretary, and the arrival of her housekeeper Lillian's five-year-old pistol of a great-granddaughter. In the midst of all the commotion, can her cool-as-a-cucumber head help her heart make the decision of a lifetime?

Another Fun Visit with Miss Julia and Company
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Reading this series really is like paying a visit to an old friend. I admire the way the author has let her characters develop in circumstances that do not seem contrived. Wacky, maybe, but not contrived! Miss Julia has her own "logic" about why she does what she does, and it leads to some interesting situations! I was laughing out loud at the mapcap "reconnaissance mission" (complete with Miss Julia peeling out away from the scene) and one of the new characters, little Latisha, is adorable. I hope she stays in the story line. All told, a great addition to the series. I will look forward to my next visit.
Really cute book!

If you're looking for a "feel good" book, this is the one for you, as are the other books in the Miss Julia series. Each of the books can certainly stand by itself, but I think they would probably read a little easier if you read them in the order in which they were published. A great book!
A light and easy read..

This book is perfect for enjoying a day in the sun. I personally enjoy the books without all the sex, profanity and violence, and all of these books have humor, friendships, mystery and more. Hooray for Miss Julia, she isn't a Miss anymore!!!
STERLING VOICE PERFORMANCE
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Voice performer Claudia Hughes gives a superb reading of this "Miss Julia" story, perfectly capturing the modulated, softly Southern tones of our protagonist. The cast of characters gives Hughes ample opportunity to display her talents as she segues to the proclamations of housekeeper, Lillian, and her rambunctious five-year-old great-granddaughter. Hearing Miss Julia is both fun and entertaining, thanks to Claudia Hughes. - Gail Cooke
