Murder Passes the Buck: Gertie Johnson may be outspoken, distrustful of banks, and a quick draw with the pepper spray, but she hasn’t lost her marbles. Her son Blaze, the sheriff in a backwoods community of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, is petitioning to become her legal guardian, but Gertie, a sassy sixty-six-year-old widow with a taste for detective work, has got bigger fish to fry: solving the murder of Chester Lampi who was shot dead in his deer blind. Blaze-who’s more interested in retiring than investigating-rules Chester’s death as a hunting accident. So, Gertie takes on the case with help from her friends, man-hungry Cora Mae and pin-curled Kitty. Interrogating neighbors, spying, impersonating the FBI . . . the stubborn, spunky grandmother won’t give up the chase even when the killer takes aim at her.

Little Donny disappears into the backwoods, forcing sixty-six year old Gertie to use her unique investigative techniques to find her favorite grandson. Gerties search is hampered by her pin-curled bodyguard Kitty, her man-hungry friend Cora Mae whos hot for the guy Gertie secretly admires, and Grandma Johnsonwho should be mushing peas between her new false teeth in the Escanaba Nursing Home instead of setting up camp at Gerties place. What really gets Gerties goat is her son Blaze, the local sheriff, whos more interested in arresting his mom for driving without a license than finding Little Donny or catching the killer.
Murder Talks Turkey: It’s spring in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula – an exciting season of rising temperatures, budding romances, and the turkey-hunting opener. But for sheer adrenaline value, neither love nor turkeys can compete with the Credit Union being held up at gunpoint. It’s not the best planning to commit a robbery in a town where everyone is armed for combat, and the gunman is shot dead in a room full of witnesses – but the stolen money has disappeared right in front of their eyes.
Faster than you can say "Tom Turkey," Gertie, Cora Mae, and Kitty are on the case, in this hoot of a whodunit.
Murder Bites the Bullet: Sixty-six year old Gertie Johnson and cohorts Cora Mae and Kitty have a knack for stirring up trouble in what was once a quiet backwoods community in the heart of the Michigan Upper Peninsula. When Finnish resident Harry Aho (sometimes pronounced A-hoe) takes a bullet at his kitchen table, Gertie suspects it has something to do with the public shooting range he set up right on the property line next to a Swede. The Trouble Busters bring out the big guns to crack this one, including deer cameras, a riot gun, and faithful Fred, the semi-retired police dog.
