Yooper Mysteries

From National Bestselling Author Deb BakerIn Michigan's Upper Peninsula, sixty-six-year-old widow Gertie Johnson has two talents: minding her own business… and absolutely not minding it at all.When her neighbor is shot and killed-and the death is ruled an accident-Gertie knows better. Unfortunately, the man calling it an accident is the sheriff of their backwoods town.And he's her son.With her pint-sized grandson Little Donny in tow, her man-hungry best friend Cora Mae egging her on, and vocabulary-obsessed Kitty correcting her grammar, Gertie launches her own investigation. Whether she's interrogating suspects, snooping through cabins, or impersonating the FBI, she refuses to let a killer hide behind a badge-or a bad alibi.But someone doesn't appreciate Gertie's meddling… and when the killer turns his sights on her, this feisty Yooper may have finally bitten off more than she can chew.

Her search through the backwoods is complicated by her pin-curled bodyguard Kitty, her man-hungry best friend Cora Mae, and Grandma Johnson-who should be peacefully mashing peas at the Escanaba nursing home instead of camping out in Gertie's living room.Meanwhile, Gertie's son Blaze, the local sheriff, seems more determined to arrest his mother for driving without a license than to track down a murderer-or find his missing nephew.If Gertie doesn't outwit a killer and survive the wilds of the U.P., this hunting season may claim one more victim.

Because the deeper she digs into the bank robbery, the clearer it becomes that someone planned this perfectly.And they won't hesitate to silence anyone who gets too close.In Michigan's Upper Peninsula, even a routine trip to the bank can turn deadly-and Gertie Johnson is once again in the line of fire.
