WARNING: Gertrude can be a bit of a crank! She shoots from the hip, is unburdened by tact, and likes things done her way. Yet, people adore her. It's a mystery. Speaking of which, Gertrude never set out to be a sleuth. She was just minding her own business among her many, many collections (including her cat collection), when her neighbor went missing. With no one else around to help, Gertrude stepped in to solve the case--and found out she's got quite a knack for snooping. Join her as she gets herself into ridiculous situations and then laugh out loud as she bumbles her way out of them. Just don't expect her to mind her Ps and Qs. "Cozy fans who enjoy ample servings of tongue-in-cheek humor may find Merrill's series debut to their taste. ... Gertrude's inept doggedness will entertain readers who don't take their mysteries too seriously." --Publishers Weekly The Gertrude, Gumshoe Books in Order: Book 1: Introducing Gertrude, Gumshoe Book 2: Gertrude, Gumshoe: Murder at the Thrift Store Book 3: Gertrude, Gumshoe and the VardSale Villain Book 4: Gertrude, Gumshoe: Slam Is Murder Book 5: Gertrude, Gumshoe: Gunslinger City Book 6: Gertrude, Gumshoe and the Clearwater Curse Gertrude in South Dakota Book 1: Gertrude, Gumshoe: S'more Murder Gertrude in South Dakota Book 2: Gertrude, Gumshoe: Haunted Hotel Gertrude in South Dakota Book 3: Gertrude, Gumshoe: Cowboy Shoot Gertrude also makes an appearance in The Prima Donna.
