Publisher Description
In the latest installment of Ann B. Ross's New York Times bestselling series, Miss Julia takes a trip to the beach, only to confront a hurricane roiling off the coast--and all the trouble it washes ashore
Miss Julia's sweet and generous husband, Sam, has decided to take a big group trip to the beach, inviting family and friends. While Miss Julia prepares for the big trip, her longtime friend LuAnne comes to her with a horrifying discovery--her husband may be cheating on her. Julia invites LuAnne along to the beach to get away and clear her head--and to keep from doing anything rash.
Everyone settles into the rental house and six-year-old Latisha, their beloved housekeeper Lillian's great-grandaughter, is having a blast searching for seashells when she discovers some much more valuable treasures that have washed up from a strong storm off the coast. As the storm nears, the crew packs up to head back to Abbotsville, and it appears that the three strangers they met on the beach--who seemed a bit too interested in little Latisha's treasures--have followed them back to their sleepy town.
In Miss Julia Weathers the Storm, another highly entertaining and delightful installment in the series by Ann B. Ross, Miss Julia must rely on her quick wit and strong will to protect Latisha, get to the bottom of LuAnne's predicament, and once again save the day.
Watch out for Ross's Miss Julia Raises the Roof, coming in April 2018!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Ross's appealing 18th mystery set in the North Carolina town of Abbotsville (after 2016's Miss Julia Inherits a Mess) takes Miss Julia Murdoch and her husband, Sam, on a beach vacation, along with assorted family members and friends. The Murdochs rent a big house on an island off Charleston, S.C., where little Latisha, a great-grandchild of their housekeeper, Lillian, is soon hunting for shells. Ominously, three beachcombers chasing down a load of currency that's washed ashore seem to be inordinately interested in Latisha's shells. The vacationers, driven back to Abbotsville by an approaching hurricane, are alarmed to find that it's not just the storm that has followed them home. PI J.D. Pickens and Sgt. Coleman Bates of the Abbot County Sheriff's Department lend a hand in dealing with the unwelcome visitors. As usual for this cozy series, the main pleasure lies not in the mystery, a comfortable puzzler, but in the time spent among engaging small-town characters as they cope with the joys and demands of day-to-day life.)
