    About this audiobook

    Imagine Aunt Bee from The Andy Griffith Show with a lot more backbone and confidence," wrote Publishers Weekly about Miss Julia, Ann Ross's endearing Dixie doyenne of decorum. In her latest romp, Miss Julia-now Mrs. Sam Murdoch-returns from her whirlwind elopement, only to find herself roped into Hazel Marie's scheme to raise money by throwing a beauty pageant. Though it all seems a tad distasteful, it's nothing compared to the revelation that Pigeon Forge, the marriage mill across the state line that wedded Julia and Sam, might not be legitimate. And a flustered Julia can't help wondering whether she and Sam can keep up appearances before the town finds out they might be living in sin.

      I love this series. Entertaining, light reading.
    • 4/5
      Miss Julia and her cast of non-traditional family and friends is in fine form for this episode of this highly entertaining series.

      Miss Julia and Sam are trying to settle into wedded bliss while Hazel Marie has decided she'll run a beauty contest to help out the sheriff's department. When Julia and Sam find out that they might not be legally married things start getting really interesting. Hazel Marie wants Julia to help with the beauty contest but Julia is having a hard time thinking about anything other than her "state of limbo".

      Although I sometimes think that Miss Julia worries too much about what everyone else thinks and doesn't take time to just do what she needs to do to make herself happy, in this case I can somewhat understand her fretting and stewing.

      More books still in the series so I'll keep working my way through them.
    • 4/5
      Well, Miss Julia has gone and done it this time! She and her long-time friend, mentor/attorney Sam Murdoch have eloped to a marriage mill in Tennessee and honeymooned at Dollywood. Shortly after their return to town, but after they'd already hired carpenters who had demolished half Miss J's house to fit it out so everyone (Julia and Sam, Hazel Mae and little Lloyd) could live under one roof, they discover that the "reverend" who officiated at the nuptials may not in fact have been a rev at all, and their marriage may not be legal.Naturally Miss Julia's southern sense of properness and morality is totally in chaos; she banishes Sam to a separate bedroom, refuses to go through with another ceremony (that would announce to the world that they'd been living in sin!!!!) and sends Sam off to "fix it." At the same time, Hazel Marie decides to hostess a beauty pageant, Julia's best friend wants to throw her a wedding reception, and poor Miss Julia just can't seem to handle it. As usual, Ann B. Ross does a wonderful job of keeping us guessing about the outcome of all these challenges and manages to give us some tension, some concern, and plenty of humor as the various characters work through life.These are fun stories. Miss Julia has just the right amount of ditziness and brains to make them believable and Hazel Mae adds the perfect foil of fun loving devil-may-care to counter Miss Julia's prissiness. Think Golden Girls with Betty White as Miss Julia and a young Rue McClanahan as Hazel Mae. I'm not sure I could take these as a steady diet, but they are certainly well done - - especially in audio.
    • 4/5
      Another good Miss Julia book but I didn't enjoy it as much as the others so far.
