Purrfect Fool (The Mysteries of Max 28)

I’ve never been one to complain about my lack of good fortune, figuring I lead a pretty blessed life, but when suddenly people all around us started having their greatest wishes come true, I couldn’t help but wonder when this would happen to me. As it was, life had other surprises in store for us. Namely to be given away as wedding presents.

Indeed—a wedding had been announced and would soon be taking place between Mayor Charlene Butterwick and Chief of Police Alec Lip… if only the future groom hadn’t been kidnapped, causing much distress to all concerned.

Meanwhile a circus had set up shop in Hampton Cove, which soon proved very popular, especially when a fortune teller started telling everyone’s fortunes… and granting their every wish. Odelia felt things were too good to be true, and recruited us cats to do some snooping around. And so snoop around we did—at least until Grandma Muffin gave us away as wedding gifts. Oh, she meant well, of course—but then she always does… before all hell breaks loose.

Purrfect Fitness (The Mysteries of Max 29)

I don’t know if you’ve ever shared your home with a fitness fanatic. I have, and it’s a disturbing experience. Both my humans are fitness nuts, you see, and like nothing more than to contort themselves into strange positions, or jump up and down while sweating profusely. Things didn’t improve when fitness celebrity Randy Hancock came to stay with us. He told us he’d recently been injected with a slow-acting toxin and only had four days to live. So he asked Odelia to save him. It was the beginning of a troubling time, more so because he’d brought along his dog Little Randy.

Meanwhile Brutus had struck up an unlikely friendship with a turtle, and Gran an even unlikelier one with Wilbur Vickery, going so far as to actually start dating the man. Soon rumors of an upcoming wedding were doing the rounds, prompting Dooley to fear he’d have to move out along with Gran to go and live with her new husband and Wilbur’s cat Kingman. And then of course there was The Affair: Marge being caught in the arms of Randy, creating a second rumor mill that predicted divorce. It was all cause for great concern, and one of my most perspiratory mysteries yet.

Purrfect Setup (The Mysteries of Max 30)

When we were called to the home of a banker who’d taken his own life, little did I suspect this would lead to an actual case. But then the banker’s daughter asked Odelia to investigate, convinced her father had been murdered. And so we set out to prove the impossible. The police were satisfied with a verdict of suicide, and we had nothing to go on except the girl’s plea. Meanwhile Dooley had his own theories about the case, and then there was his quest to become a cub scout. His good deeds soon began to give me great cause for concern, especially when they started to put lives at risk.
