Miss Julia Takes Over

By: Ann B. Ross

Narrated by: Cynthia Darlow

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 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?

Great story

I’m writing this for my mom, she’s 97 and can’t see to read. I hooked her up with this book and she loved it. She would not stop listening, she is looking forward to hearing more of Ann B. Ross books!

Guaranteed Laughs & Smiles

This is a delightful story made fun listening with the infusion of southern culture. I cannot wait to listen to the rest of the series.

Enjoyable

This is book 2 of this series but is a standalone story. The core characters from the first book return with several new ones thrown in to help Miss Julia on her new adventure. Miss Julia is a character of a bygone era trying to navigate through modern times, while imposing her own standards on those around her - and frequently they are better for it. Julia evolves as a character as she interacts with the world around her which provides interest and humor to the story. Overall, very enjoyable.

Love Miss Julia

Enjoying this version of feminism coming into itself!! Don’t mess with a little old southern woman

The Speed of Changes

especially like Ms Julia's attitude changes as events unfold. Little Lloyd is a real asset.
