Miss Julia Takes Over (#2/23) by Ann B Ross ****

 Miss Julia has made peace with her deceased husband’s (Wesley Lloyd Springer) mistress (Hazel Marie Puckett). Miss Julia is childless, but she has taken in Hazel Marie and Little Lloyd. The estate has been split between Miss Julia and Little Lloyd. Many people would like to get their hands on Little Lloyd’s inheritance. Such as Presbyterian Paster Ledbetter and Hazel Marie’s brother (a TV evangelist) Vernon Puckett. Miss Julia is strait-laced and proper and has much to say about churches and NASCAR. A mystery of strong women, women who need men, and North Carolina.

This book discusses adultery, erectile dysfunction, gambling, alcoholism, and misbehavior by pastors.

While Miss Julia can hold her own, she hires a private investigator, J D Pickens. Miss Julia is often torn between being J D Pickens's employer/boss and her physical attraction to him. She never gives in to the attraction.

Memorable:

“Now, Lillian,” I said, smoothing on my gloves. I’d dressed with extra care that morning, wearing a fox fur hat and one of my Sunday woolens under my new winter-white cashmere coat with a fox fur collar. It was the kind of ensemble that LuAnne called a CCC—country club, church, and cemetery outfit.
