About the Book
Synopsis from Goodreads:
A young woman is missing, and her boyfriend is desperate to find her.Desperate enough to hire Gertrude, Gumshoe.Thrilled to have her first real client, Gertrude gets right to work. But is she ready for a real case? Can she catch a kidnapper without getting snatched up herself?
Gertrude, Gumshoe is back for another mystery to solve. This is book #3 in the series and Gertrude suddenly finds herself in demand as a private investigator. She’s not surprised because she knows how good she is. The police, on the other hand, are not so thrilled.
When a young man asks for her help finding his missing girlfriend, Gertrude is quick to come to his assistance. The police have already turned him away believing the girlfriend just left him, but Gertrude is suspicious. As she does her own investigating, she finds there are other women missing as well. She’s determined to find out what is happening and where these women are now.
Gertrude can be ornery, but I think she’s so much fun. An investigator needing a walker and depending on others to drive her places? Gertrude often finds herself in crazy situations.
These are short books and fill an afternoon quite nicely. The cases are intriguing despite the short length of the book. Gertrude always proves to be a better detective than I am. I’m looking forward to reading more in this series.
