Overview

Murder Talks Turkey is approximately 60,000 words.

In her third Yooper mystery (as in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, or U.P.), Baker’s lively protagonist, Gertie Johnson, is minding her own business, standing in line at the bank when it gets robbed. From her position on the floor, Gertie watches as a gunman on the roof of a nearby building shoots the bank robber dead. She quickly decides that she and the other two members of her Trouble Buster Investigative Company (all single women of a certain age) need to help their hapless sheriff solve the case. The trouble is feisty Gertie has a lot on her plate, what with her extended family, her other investigations, and a tentative new romance. The deeper into the bank robbery she goes, the more complicated and seriously dangerous it gets. Intrepid Gertie is a wonderfully drawn character, whose view of the U.P.’s denizens and their surroundings makes for enjoyable storytelling. ~ Booklist

(A) delight to read. In addition to the engaging mystery, it's a wonderful story of the love of family and friends." ~ Hidden Staircase Mystery Books

"…one of the most memorable heroines in recent crime fiction." ~ Lansing State Journal

"Take a wild ride through the North Woods with Deb Baker's latest Yooper Mystery. Murder Talks Turkey is a laugh out loud, action-packed romp with some of the zaniest mystery investigators ever. Armed with walkie-talkies, stun gun, and Wonderbras, Gertie Johnson and friends hunt for the killer--and create more trouble than they started out with. It's a hoot and a half." ~ Maggie Sefton, author of A Killer Stitch

"The heart of Murder Talks Turkey is Gertie. If she lived in the south rather than the far north, we'd call her a 'steel magnolia.' When she is on the lam, Gertie does it in a style not before seen in crime fiction.” ~ Cozy Library

"[A] hilarious light-hearted mystery." -- Book Lover Blog

    Spring in Upper Michigan (Yooper) means TURKEY HUNTING TIME!!! a

    Spring in Upper Michigan (Yooper) means TURKEY HUNTING TIME!!! and not all the blinds are being used for hunting. Of course when the local credit union is robbed at gunpoint no one is talking about turkeys. Why would you plan a robbery in a town where everyone is armed and ready? The plan falls apart when the gunman is shot dead but somehow the money is still missing.




    “Faster than you can say “Tom Turkey,” Gertie, Cora Mae, and Kitty are on the case, in this hoot of a whodunit.”





    Gertie Johnson is such a wonderful character that always tickles my funny bone. Her and her Trouble Busting friends trying to help the sheriff solve the crime will have you laughing from beginning to end.




    Well written stories with fantastic characters in crazy situations. This entire series is so much fun to read. Light, entertaining and a great escape. These Yooper stories are a real treat.

    Warning to Unsuspecting Readers

    Deb Bakers' Gertie Johnson books should be issued with a Surgeon General Warning on the spine. Do NOT attempt to eat or drink while reading. Causes serious choking. Could be hazardous to your health. Could also be addictive.
    I was immediately hooked on Gertie from the first chapter. It wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't think I actually know some of those people and I could so easily picture them getting into some of those situations. You will find it hard to see your neighbors or sit next to people in church now that you know what they might be up to in their private moments. It is a marvelous thing to have an older protagonist in a book, someone with a little knowledge of how the world really works, who has had the shine rubbed off, and has come to the point in their lives they can laugh at the worst situations.
    If you are in the mood for a change of pace from bodice ripping romance or technical detective work and want to just go along for a wild, wild ride then put down your coffee cup and jump in with Gertie, Cora Mae and Kitty. I guarantee you will feel liberated.
