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 Sweet and generous Sam has decided to take a big group trip to the beach, inviting family and friends including little Latisha, leaving Lillian to enjoy a quiet vacation taking care of only herself. While Miss Julia prepares for the big trip, her longtime friend LuAnne comes to her with a horrifying discovery-her husband Leonard may be cheating on her. When the two discover more convincing evidence, 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 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 strange couple they met on the beach are in a car right behind them-a coincidence, Miss Julia thinks, until they show up in Abbotsville threatening Latisha and demanding that she hand over her newfound treasures. In 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.

      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. Agent: Deborah Schneider, Gelfman Schneider Literary Agents.

      Cynthia Darlow IS the voice of Miss Julia. This is the nineteenth book in the series, and Darlow has narrated nearly all as audiobooks. Those who like their mysteries super cozy should look no further. Darlow's warm delivery makes this the easiest of listening. Ross's characters are beautifully and fondly drawn, giving Darlow plenty to work with. Her children's voices are superb, and Miss Julia's friend LuAnne is so well characterized that she'll drive listeners as mad as she drives Miss Julia. The mystery seems almost incidental to the catching up with Julia, Sam, Etta Mae, and the other regulars. Fans won't care, and new listeners will be charmed. C.A.T. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
