Can Miss Julia spring J. D. Pickens from a sheriff’s clutches and investigate a cult-plus keep up appearances as a proper Southern lady?
As we know from her many trips to the New York Times bestseller list, Miss Julia simply can’t abide sitting idle. And with young Lloyd moving out and husband Sam off to the Holy Land, everybody’s favorite steel magnolia is feeling restless.
Maybe it’s time for that long-delayed home makeover. But before Miss Julia can even pick a color swatch, Hazel Marie’s new husband, private eye J.D. Pickens, goes missing — and police in West Virginia have detained an injured man fitting his description.
Meanwhile, a religious cult is out to convert the locals—and Miss Julia must pick up the pace to free J.D. and get back in time to stop them.
