The Miss Julia Series - Book 9
Miss Julia Paints the Town
“The memorably droll Ross has a gift for elevating such everyday matters as marital strife and the hazards of middle age to high comedy, while painting her beautifully drawn characters with wit and sympathy.”
Publishers Weekly
Abounding in Southern charm, Ann B. Ross’ bestselling Miss Julia series has earned a legion of devoted fans. In Miss Julia Paints the Town, the plucky North Carolinian is pushed to the limit by a daunting heap of difficulties.
First, the husband of one of Julia’s friends vanishes, then another—and then another. One of the abandoned wives seeks comfort by snuggling up to Julia’s second husband, Sam. As all this transpires, a slick developer from New Jersey announces his plan to tear down Abbotsville’s old courthouse and throw up some condos. While she attempts to help find the missing husbands, Julia also concocts a sneaky plan to scare off the developer. But perhaps she’s bitten off a tad more than she can chew this time around.
Chock-full of irreverent wit, Miss Julia Paints the Town brilliantly captures the humor of domestic bliss and smalltown happenings.
