About the Book

He's a romance writer pretending to be a mystery writer so he can solve a real mystery, clear his live-in uncle of a murder charge, convince his housekeeper to fall in love with him without her discovering he's really a romance writer pretending to be a mystery writer, so they can all live happily ever after. If he can avoid getting dropped in the river by the mob guys, shot by the real killer or having someone pull his dress off - figuratively speaking - and blow his cover. When it comes right down to it, all Greg Monroe wants to do is say goodbye to Ginny Madison, his romance writer nom de plume. But Hattie Fulton, his new housekeeper, is a mystery herself. She not only cooks and cleans, she shoots like Wild Bill Cody, throws mobsters around like sacks of crushed Doritos and drives like Dale Earnhardt. Oh, and she's pretending to be an English graduate student with a disdain for mystery writers. "Goodbye Ginny Madison" brings together a hero and a heroine, both pretending to be someone they are not, yet both searching for the answers to a bizarre murder; the spindle death of a convenience store manager/part-time mob bookie. Greg's uncle George is the prime suspect and wanted by both the mob and the cops. The mob, represented by the suave Mr. Allano and his two "intern" henchmen, want to drop George in the river, while the cops just want to send him to jail, for life. Can Greg and Hattie discover the secrets behind the murder, without revealing their own secrets in the process? Can they establish an honest relationship by lying to each other? Can they get Uncle George off the hook for the murder without ticking off the mob? "I loved it. The character of Greg and his sweet Uncle George were absolutely engaging. I loved the premise, an established romance writer who wants to write mysteries. But the publishing world thinks he is a she. Brilliant. The author has just the right amount of humor and mystery that will make this a great novel." - Amazon Breakout Novel Award Expert Review "This novel pulls off a rare feat - an original mystery paired with sharp dialog and an unforgettable cast of characters." - Publishers Weekly
About the Author: Dave Gehrke has been a bartender, real estate broker, horse trainer, sheep farmer, publisher, newspaper columnist, high school economics teacher, school principal and superintendent. And then he "retired". Although often described as the proverbial "jack of all trades, master of none", Dave claims he has secretly spent his working years compiling characters and experiences for what he calls his ultimate career; novelist. Now that he's completed what he refers to as his "training", Dave has hunkered down with his wife Rita in a small southeastern MN river valley, hunched over his Mac, bolstered with hot coffee and Rita's homemade shortbread cookies with the sole purpose of grinding out novels until the Grim Reaper stabs a bony finger at the re-boot switch. "Goodbye Ginny Madison" is Dave's second mystery, following the well-received "Brogan's Island", a tale of suspense in northern Minnesota. Both novels offer what the author believes makes good mystery reading; life-like compelling characters and plots that twist and turn.
