Murder Comes in Threes — Deb Baker

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.



Three humorous novella adventures with the trio:



MURDER BITES THE BULLET *note: this story was also included in the original boxed set



Finnish resident Harry Aho (pronounced A-hoe) takes a bullet at his kitchen

table, and Gertie suspects it has something to do with the public shooting range he set up right on the property line adjacent to a Swede.



MURDER TRIMS THE TREE



When Gertie and her friends decide to do their court-ordered community service at the local assisted living home during the Christmas season, they get more than they (plea) bargained for.



MURDER BEGINS AT HOME



Gertie thinks she has her hands full with her wily ninety-two-year-old mother-in-law, who is writing a secret guide to controlling husbands until an old-timer goes missing and winds up right next to a dead body with the murder weapon clutched in his fist.
