Features & Highlights

  • 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, the people who know her 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.
  • (This is Book 1 of the Gertrude, Gumshoe Cozy Mystery Series. The entire series is available in large print.)

I really enjoy this book

I bought large print so I can pass the book to my elderly mother when I’m done reading it, so thankful for the large print!
I just picked up the book this morning and I am 3/4 done with reading it. It’s hard to put down. I really enjoy the plot and the different characters. Its got a lot of funny to it. Half way through I got back on amazon and ordered book 2 & 3.

Didn't like Gertrude

My mother is elderly. She thought Gertrude was rude and pushy and didn't like that people seemed to think it was O.K. just because she was a senior citizen. We didn't care much for the plot. It was difficult to have sympathy for any of the characters. We just didn't think the characters were very realistic or relatable.
