Part of Miss Julia, book 11
First published 2010
Miss Julia wants to pull the covers over her head and disappear. Her husband Sam insists they attend marriage enrichment sessions led by Dr. Fred Fowler, a psychologist she desperately hopes never to see again. The last thing she wants is introducing this particular man to Sam. Before she can figure out how to handle the marriage classes, someone attacks Francie Pitts and sends her to the hospital. Francie never saw who hit her, but she caught a distinctive scent. She recognized the attacker's perfume as Shania Twain by Stetson, which belongs to Etta Mae Wiggins. Miss Julia must prove Etta Mae's innocence while navigating the awkward therapy sessions. She needs to demonstrate that her marriage still has plenty of spark, even if Sam requires some encouragement. Between clearing Etta Mae's name and convincing Sam their relationship doesn't need professional help, Miss Julia discovers that a little Shania Twain fragrance might be the key to solving both problems.
