This was my first experience with Miss Julia, but not with the author (Etta Mae's Worst Bad Day Ever - highly recommended, BTW). She is a delightful elderly lady who gets herself into predicaments in which she finds herself in the middle of a crime scene and has to solve matters for her peace of mind, and to clear her name. Compared to other cozy mystery series that I read and love, this series has a plot that is a bit more spread out (at least 50 extra pages than most), with a lot of abbreviated southern style dialogue. That is what makes it particular, however, and if you can adjust to the slower southern pace, you will enjoy just as much. The plot is tight, the characters are solid, the right information and clues are revealed along the way, but it takes a little more time for all to be well in the end.
