Introducing Gertrude, Gumshoe
O ovoj e-knjizi
With her no-nonsense New England frankness, Gertrude shoots from the hip, remains gloriously unburdened by tact, and insists things be done her way. Yet somehow, the people who truly know her can't help but adore her.
It's quite the mystery.
Speaking of which, Gertrude never planned on becoming an amateur sleuth. But when one of her many beloved cats goes missing, her search reveals that a neighbor has also disappeared. As she starts poking around, Gertrude discovers she's got a surprising talent for investigation—even if her methods raise a few eyebrows.
Join this cantankerous but endearing senior as she entangles herself in ridiculous situations and then laugh out loud as she bumbles her way out of them with surprising cleverness. Just don't expect her to mind her Ps and Qs—authentic New England character comes with authentic New England attitude!
"Gertrude’s inept doggedness will entertain readers who don’t take their mysteries too seriously." -Publishers Weekly
