Purrfect Kill - Mysteries of Max

As your loyal feline correspondent it is my sad duty to inform you that one of my housemates has lost her marbles and decided to go into showbiz. And in other news, the country's most successful female pop singer was found murdered.




In other words: business as usual in Hampton Cove, one of the coziest but also (apparently) deadliest East Coast towns. At least for celebrities, who tend to die like flies in this lovely little corner of the world. As far as Harriet's singing ambitions were concerned, she wasn't the only one in our family with a sudden craving to step into the limelight and seek fame and fortune. Gran, too, announced she wants to be a star and become the next Beyoncé.




The murder investigation into the death of Chickie Hay, meanwhile, wasn't going well. Oh, there were plenty of suspects, but no progress being reported. Odelia, my human and sometime amateur sleuth, was at the end of her tether, and even we cats couldn't give her the breakthrough she was so desperately looking for. But tenacious as we are, we just kept on digging, even as Gran's ambitions caused a serious rift in the Poole family-she even up and left.




So how did it all end, you ask? Well, do read on in my latest report from the Hampton Cove front lines: Purrfect Kill. I promise you won't be disappointed. At least if you don't mind reading a book written from the viewpoint of a cat.
