Miss Julia Weathers the Storm by Ann B. Ross

"So we listened to a book on CD about a feisty woman who speaks her mind, hitches a ride on a Harley---at her age, too---and serves open-faced cucumber sandwiches on a silver tray."
                  -Miss Julia, from the novel

I am always greatly entertained by Miss Julia and this episode is no exception. In fact, I found it more of a page-turner than some. With Julia's usual good intentions of helping friends that get her into some humorous predicaments and the added suspense of an approaching hurricane and three mysterious strangers, this one rates a 5 from me. I will pass it on to a friend who is also a fan.

Julia's husband, Sam, wants to treat family and friends to a week at the beach. The quote above describes the beginning of the trip by car and tickled me because it seems to describe Miss Julia. Everyone is having a great time at the beach except Julia's friend, LuAnne who is moaning over her husband's recently discovered affair. Toward the end of their first week an odd thing happens on the beach that will later be called "The Great Money Haul" and will have some frightening results. Soon after, it looks like Hurricane Marty is heading their way and they're told to evacuate.

Upon arriving at home and over several days, it seems some of the beach-goers are being stalked by some strangers they had seen on the beach. Why? That's the question they are all asking and the answer is pretty surprising....but you will have to read to find out!

I'd love for you to leave your comments!
