  About Murder Talks Turkey - 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. ~
