WARNING: Gertrude can be a bit cranky!

She shoots from the hip, is unburdened by tact, and likes things done her way. Yet, the people who know her adore her.

It's a mystery.

Speaking of which, Gertrude never set out to be a sleuth. But when one of her many cats goes missing, she goes out searching and learns that one of her neighbors has also disappeared. And when she starts poking around, Gertrude finds 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.

"Gertrude’s inept doggedness will entertain readers who don’t take their mysteries too seriously." -Publishers Weekly
