Praise for The Julius House

"Roe is so charming, you will want to go back and read the first three. Mostly Murder

Real Murders

Real Murders is the first adventure for Harriss perceptive protagonist and I eagerly look forward to the second... Harriss story alternately charms and chills, a difficult combination she manages with aplomb and brilliance.

Carolyn Hart, award-winning author of Set Sail for Murder

An ingenious plot and sufficient flow of blood keep the pages flying in Harriss novel... Harris draws the guilty and the innocent into an engrossing tale while inventing a heroine as capable and potentially complex as P.D. Jamess Cordelia Gray. Publishers Weekly

Chapter One

The Julius family vanished six years before I married Martin Bartell.

They disappeared so abruptly that some people in Lawrenceton phoned the National Enquirer to tell a reporter that the Juliuses had been abducted by aliens.

I had been home from college for several years and was working in the Lawrenceton Public Library when whatever it washappened to T.C., Hope, and Charity Julius. And I was as full of speculation as anyone else.

But as time went by with no trace of the Julius family, I forgot to wonder about them, except for an occasional frisson of creepiness when the name Julius came into a conversation.

Then Martin gave me their house as a wedding present.

To say I was surprised to get a house is an understatement: stunned is more accurate. We did want to buy a house, and we had been looking at fancier homes firmly anchored in the newer suburbs of Lawrenceton, an old southern town that itself is actually in the regrettable process of becoming a commuter suburb of Atlanta. Most of the houses wed been considering were large, with several big rooms suitable for entertainment; too big for a couple with no children, in my opinion. But Martin had this streak that yearned for the outer signs of financial health. He drove a Mercedes, for example, and he wanted our house to be a house where a Mercedes would look at home.

Wed looked at the Julius house because Id made a point of telling my friend and Realtor Eileen Norris to put it on the list. Id seen it when I was searching for a house for myself alone.

But Martin hadnt loved the Julius house instantly, as I had. In fact, I could tell he found my affection for the house strange. His arched dark eyebrows rose, the pale brown eyes regarded me questioningly.

Its a little isolated, he said.
