Miss Julia is depicted as fun- loving in all her books, and her speech is mostly a form of comedy especially when she is in a happy mood. Her sense of responsibility also comes out well in ‘Miss Julia Throws a Wedding’, where she offers to make all the wedding arrangements for a couple leaving in the neighborhood. The most hilarious part of the case is that Miss Julia insists on going on the search with the detective, dragging along little Lloyd along, which fastens the search. When the police seemed to drag the case, she hires a private detective, J.D. She also showed her natural concern when Hazel Marie, the mother of her husband’s son Lloyd went missing after some date by reporting to the police. She went out of her way to look for the family, bringing to her home both mother and son, and treating them with more love than would have been expected. When she lost her husband, she learned that he had a mistress and a young son. After all, she got a lot of money that her husband left her on his passing on. In one of the earliest books in the series ‘Miss Julia Takes Over’, she is a widow who has accepted her status, and even encourages other widows by telling them that being a widow comes with its own benefits. Her stories in the series are thrilling, comic and breathtaking, with her character built through her relationship with those that surround her life. Miss Julia is an elderly lady who lives in Abbots Ville, N.C.
