Miss Julia Inherits a Mess by Ann B. Ross

Miss Julia Inherits a Mess by Ann B. Ross --- 308 pages

The 17th book in the cozy mystery series with the emphasis on the cozy rather than the mystery.

When Miss Mattie Freeman breaks her hip in a fall in her apartment and winds up in the hospital, Miss Julia is stunned to discover that Mattie, with no known living relatives, has given Miss Julia power of attorney to handle her affairs. Julia’s sense of duty requires her to accept responsibility for an elderly woman she never considered more than an acquaintance. But when Mattie dies of her injuries, Julia learns she also designated Miss Julia as the executor of her estate.  Miss Mattie's will goes on to leave a number of charitable bequests, but as Miss Julia soon finds out, there's not enough money left to fulfill them, unless she can find other assets hidden in Mattie's jumbled and overstuffed apartment.
