Miss Julia Delivers The Goods (2009) - Plot & Excerpts

Miss Julia is beside herself. Hazel Marie has taken ill, but she refuses to let Miss Julia notify Mr Pickens. Apparently they have broken up; he’s in Charlotte working on a case and may be moving there. Hazel Marie says she is ready to get on with her life, but she is clearly miserable. Miss Julia and Lillian both think that the two just need some time together to work things out, but how to engineer that when they are in different cities? When there’s a break-in at Sam’s home and only the research on his book is taken, Miss Julia suggests that Sam hires Mr Pickens to investigate. With this forced proximity, Miss Julia is sure that Hazel Marie and the confirmed bachelor will work things out. I love Miss Julia and the rest of the cast of characters in these charming Southern stories. Everyone is in everyone else’s business, but always (or mostly) with good intentions. The basic storyline in this book (#10 in the series) is fairly straightforward. While the mystery of who broke into Sam’s place does provide a little distraction, the main focus is on Hazel Marie and Mr Pickens and their on-again-off-again relationship. It’s not great literature, but it’s a fun read. A few laughable moments, no real danger, and characters you just want to hug … what could be better on a summer day? I almost didn't read this book. I had trouble getting into it. The main character is an incredibly obnoxious busy body, the kind of person I can't stand in real life. The only way I was able to continue reading was to keep reminding myself that her intentions were good. Also, everything was totally hyped up and over the top, all the emotions overdone. I know there are people who are really like that, but I don't prefer their company.The plot was a little thin. There were two main plot lines, one as to the fate of Hazel Marie and Mr. Pickens when Hazel Marie is hospitalized with a mysterious malady and the other having to do with the theft of important documents for Sam's book.Getting from point A to point B was a bit of a struggle. However, much as I hate to admit it, I did get somewhat engaged and was pleased with the final outcome, being a bit of a sucker for such things in spite of myself. (Not very PC to admit liking happy endings.)(Also, it was often funny, in a stupid sort of way, and I can appreciate stupid humor, that being one of my many flaws.)
