Purrfect Thief (The Mysteries of Max 43)

At Daggers Drawn…

I think you’ll agree with me that there isn’t nearly enough romance in the world. And so when a young couple walked into Odelia’s office, clearly in trouble, I was fully expecting a Romeo and Juliet scenario. But instead of telling us that they wanted to get married but couldn’t, Casey van de Graaf and Zalman Mulhearn were there to tell us they were being forced to get married but didn’t want to!

Odelia promised to talk to Casey’s family to avoid this dreadful fate, but before she could, a mysterious cat burglar named John Robie stole Rudyard van de Graaf’s most treasured possession, a daring theft which would soon lead to… murder. And now it wasn’t just Casey who was in trouble, but the rest of her family, too. In fact it isn’t too much to say that what followed was one of the most baffling cases I’ve ever encountered.

Purrfect Crust (The Mysteries of Max 44)

A Piece of Fake

I’ve never been a big fan of baked goods, so when a former bakery salesgirl asked Odelia to help her beat a wrongful accusation of theft, I wasn’t as excited as I could have been. Now if it had been a fishmonger or a butcher… Then again, beggars can’t be choosers, and Sasha Kay was in big trouble, so we vowed to do what we could to help her. So when Gran and Scarlett went undercover at the bakery, Dooley and I joined them. Soon we discovered that pretty much everyone at that bakery seemed to harbor some big secret, and when a dead body was discovered in Sasha’s backyard, things suddenly looked very bad for the poor woman.

Purrfect Bachelor (The Mysteries of Max 45)

An eye for an eye

Thirteen years ago, five confirmed bachelors were accused of a hit-and-run accident that left Poppy Careen dead on a quiet residential street. Now Poppy’s mother asks Odelia to finally get justice for her family. But when Odelia pays a visit to one of the five men, she finds he’s been murdered. The most likely suspects are the Careens, especially Poppy’s dad, who never fully recovered from the death of his little girl. But soon other suspects pop out of the woodwork, and when more bodies are discovered, it becomes clear that there’s a lot more to this case than meets the eye.
