Miss Julia Stirs Up Trouble/Ann B. Ross/354 pgs

I had mixed feelings about this installment of the Miss Julia series.  It still had the same quirky characters with problems for Julia to solve. Miss Julia is trying to come up with a cookbook for Hazel Marie comprised of recipes given by friends and family.  She is also incorporating cooking lessons along the way.  Add an injured James, new twins and a relative faking illness you have a frazzled Hazel Marie.  The premise is good, however, too much space is taken up by the recipes and not enough by plot.  I hope this was a one time shot and Ms Ross gets back to her regular style.
