The final entry in the Miss Julia series is a delight. There are weddings galore happening in Abbotsville, North Carolina. Some are expected and others are a total surprise. Helen Stroud will probably marry a man who is really looking for a housekeeper/nurse. Etta Mae Wiggins will probably marry her longtime boyfriend. Christy Hargrove is dropping out of medical school to marry a surgeon. Miss Julia’s housekeeper Lillian is thinking of marrying a 98-year-old man for status and his big house which would become hers sooner rather than later. LuAnne Conover just wants to marry again and is searching for Mr. Right. In the midst of all the above drama, Abbotsville, has problems with a naked man terrorizing older women that are home alone. The sightings are frequent. The local sheriff isn’t terribly interested in capturing the man, so Julia Murdoch and the other women in town hatch their own plan.
Over the years, I have thoroughly enjoyed these books The characters flow from book to book, so I highly recommend reading them in order.
