I'm hoping to read this one soon. This is #4 in the series. I really enjoyed the first three books.
Book Beginnings...
Gertrude rushed out of her trailer, leaving the door flapping behind her. Cats spilled out in her wake, scattering in a blur of fur.
From 6% on my e-reader to avoid giving away any spoilers...
On Sunday morning, Gertrude decided she should go to church.
Synopsis from Goodreads:
There just isn't enough crime in Mattawooptock, so Gertrude has to convince Calvin to go to the big city—Portland, where she will go undercover as the newest slam poet on the scene. But have any actual crimes been committed, or is this just Gertrude's wild imagination at work?
