Purrfect Gems (The Mysteries of Max 64)

Ezra finds himself in the impossible situation that he must be married with kids within a year. So when his roommate suggests he rent a wife and borrow a baby the plan doesn’t seem as crazy to him as it sounds. But what woman in her right mind is going to marry a guy like him?
 
Sylvie hates her boss, which is funny, since her boss hates her too. And then there’s Julie, the fortunate result of an unfortunate marriage. Sylvie wants to turn her life around, but doesn’t even know where to begin. Until she gets an unusual offer.
 
Sarah’s kleptomania lands her in hot water when she is caught stealing an expensive diamond ring. Within a week she loses her job, her apartment and her boyfriend. With nowhere else to turn, she asks Odelia Kingsley to help her get her life back on track.
 
Barnaby runs a successful flower shop in the heart of Hampton Cove. His only regret is that he never found love. What he does have is a belligerent mother who likes to run his life. Barnaby knows he should probably make some changes, but how?
 
Before long the paths of these four people will cross, leading to some unexpected situations. But one thing is for sure: their lives will never be the same again.

Purrfect Demons (The Mysteries of Max 65)

Of Mischief and Mice

It was a dark and stormy night when our house was visited by a mouse, requiring our urgent assistance in a matter of life and death. The thing is that it’s not easy to garner sympathy for the plight of mice, who are not a popular species, so we had a hard time convincing Odelia to do something. But soon a special committee was formed to look deeper into the matter. Unfortunately the committee members were too busy battling their inner demons to bother with saving a colony of mice. And so in the end it was up to us to put our best paw forward and show them how things are done.

Purrfect Show (The Mysteries of Max 66)

The Taming of the Shrews

When our beloved town of Hampton Cove found itself the target of a pair of unscrupulous drug dealers selling drugs to school kids, a task force was set up to bring these criminals to justice. The task force consisted of myself (Max), my best friend Dooley, and of course our humans Odelia and Chase. And since this all happened against the backdrop of the upcoming cat show, for which we had all been signed up, you can probably imagine the strain we were under.
 
As if that wasn’t enough, we had also been tasked with no less than two seperate investigations: one to find a man’s fiancée who had mysteriously disappeared, and a second one dealing with a cat owner suspected of gross neglect. As it was, Odelia decided to temporarily adopt the man’s cat, so our band of four suddenly became five.
 
All in all it was an interesting week, especially when I came face to face with my doppelganger at the cat show. So did I win ‘Best in Show’ or not? Find out in Purrfect Show, the latest installment in this blorange feline’s chronicles.
