Gertrude is an older woman living on disability living in a trailer park with many cats. When one of her cats is missing, she goes door to door looking for it. She discovers the cat in the care of two children in one of the other trailers. They young children are waiting for their mother, who hasn't come home from work, and they are getting worried.
Gertrude starts snooping around the trailer, trying to find a way to contact the mother, and discovers one of the mother's secrets. Gertrude decides to find the mother and make sure she is all right. While checking for the mother, she discovers a crime, and decides to investigate, in spite of the police.
She drags one of her other neighbors into her investigations, because he has a car and she needs rides. He also tries to discourage her from butting into the police investigation. She, of course, doesn't listen.
I thought the book was only okay, and since I have a couple of other of the books in the series, I will probably read another one to see if I like it better. My main problem with the book is that Gertrude wasn't very likable, she was a bit selfish and egotistical, and pretty pushy.
This book fits into several of my reading challenges--Mount TBR (bought 4 Jan 2018), Craving for Cozies, and Alphabet Soup.
