Purrfect Peril
When the Most Fascinating Man in the World is murdered in a Most Fascinating Way, Odelia Poole, who was on her way to interview the man, finds herself embroiled in a Most Fascinating Murder Investigation, along with her boyfriend Chase Kingsley, homicide detective. More Interesting Men soon come crawling out of the woodwork, and all of them had a reason to kill their Most Interesting Colleague. So who's the culprit? And will he or she strike again?
Meanwhile Max, Odelia's blorange tabby, has his own problems to contend with in the shape of a pernicious flea infestation that gets him and the other cats sent to the place they fear even more than the loss of one of their nine lives: Vena the vet. And as if that's not bad enough, there's a persistent rumor going around that Chase Kingsley might be moving in with their human - and they know what that means: babies! Which would spell the end of their cushy lives.
Between the fleas, the baby menace, a troupe of Most Interesting Cats invading their world, Grandma Muffin's latest antics, and helping Odelia with the murder investigation, life is once again lived in the fast lane for the cats of Hampton Cove, with not a moment's respite. In other words, business as usual for the world's most hilarious cat sleuths.
Purrfectly Secret
When Dick Dickerson, notorious editor of the National Star, is found drowned in duck dung, the investigation quickly gets mired down when trying to figure out who's behind the attack on the tabloid kingpin. Politicians, movie stars and captains of industry consistently found themselves in Dickerson's crosshairs, but who would stoop so low as murder?
While Odelia Poole and Detective Chase Kingsley conduct their investigation, Odelia's cat coterie is up in arms when a newcomer turns the peaceful town of Hampton Cove into a soap opera of gossip, scandal and secrets. Soon the 'Fab Four' (Max, Dooley, Harriet and Brutus) are duking it out, their friendship in ruins, Max's reputation in tatters.
It doesn't help that Grandma Muffin is waging a personal vendetta against her son-in-law's new receptionist Scarlett Canyon, determined to get rid of her long-time nemesis once and for all. Against the backdrop of all this bickering, backstabbing and strife, is it any wonder Max starts to wonder if Dickerson's killer will be the one that got away?
Purrfect Alibi
When Marge Poole managed to get the world's bestselling writer to come down to Hampton Cove for a reading at the local library, she never expected to become a prime suspect when the man is found murdered instead. Now it's up to her daughter Odelia to track down the real killer, before the murder turns Marge into an outcast in the small town they call home. But when Odelia's grandmother insists she join the hunt, things suddenly get a little... complicated.
Meanwhile, Odelia's cats have some issues of their own to contend with. Like the fact that Dooley has become convinced that the apocalypse is about to happen any day now, or that Brutus has been acting very strange lately. And then there's the fact that Max and his friends have been tasked by Odelia to lend aid and support in her murder investigation. Soon they're ferreting out clues, interviewing witnesses and discovering some surprises of their own.
