Gertrude is back!

After being thrown in the clink for private investigating without a license, she's fled the state to go where her talents will be more appreciated: South Dakota.

She has big plans to set up shop, but an injury halts her journey shortly after crossing The Sunshine State's state line. She and Calvin are forced to hole up in a struggling campground, and when Gertrude finds the body of the campground owner, she is certain the man has been murdered.

She is the only one who is certain of this. Can she convince the sheriff that there's been a crime? Can she convince the good people of South Dakota that she is a talented investigator they should want to keep around?

(The Gertrude in South Dakota Series is a continuation of the Gertrude, Gumshoe Cozy Mystery Series.)

      Merrill’s second comic mystery featuring a curmudgeonly sleuth (after Introducing Gertrude, Gumshoe) is even funnier than her first. Gertrude, who lives in Mattawooptock, Maine, stumbles upon a murder victim during what should be a routine shopping trip to the local Goodwill to buy Christmas presents. After picking up gifts for her niece and nephew, she heads to the perfume section, only to find a young woman’s bludgeoned corpse next to the murder weapon—an ugly lamp adorned with decorative birds. But by the time a crowd has gathered in response to her scream, the lamp has disappeared. Gertrude manages to get hired at the Goodwill so that she can search for the missing weapon and learn more about the victim, 25-year-old Tislene Breen, who was unemployed and unmarried. Gertrude is as comically inept at sorting donated items as she is at most everything else. Readers who enjoy tongue-in-cheek whodunits will find themselves grinning frequently.
