Description
Gertrude Hardy, Frank and Joe's aunt, has lived with the Hardys for several years. She has become like a second mother to Frank and Joe. She is always telling her brother Fenton, the boys' father, that she would kill for a nice older millionaire to sweep her off her feet.

Even though Gertrude has a secret passion for mystery novels and a habit of watching late-night mystery movies from the '40s and '50, she is not comfortable with Fenton's job as a detective and doesn't think that it's appropriate for the Hardy boys to play detective as well.

Aunt Gertrude makes homemade strawberry jam and bakes chocolate cakes. She trades in her car for a new one every couple years. She never drives over 30 miles an hour and seldom drives distances longer than 10 miles. Aunt Gertrude prefers to shop in town, as compared to a large supermarket outside of town. She pet sits cats for people and she buys only the best canned cat food when she does.
