Diet Is murder When former actress and lifestyle guru Donna Bruce is found murdered in her sauna cabin, stung to death by bees, Odelia and Chase are on the case. Meanwhile Odelia’s tabby Max has his own issues to deal with. The vet has decided the flabby tabby is too flabby and has put Max on a strict diet. Feeling weak and out of sorts, the blorange cat has a hard time coming up with original ideas to solve the crime his human is grappling with. And then there’s the fact that Odelia has decided that this time Harriet, her mother’s white Persian, is in charge of the case, leading the feline sleuths even further astray. Harriet’s idea of investigating a crime is surfing the web and sifting through Internet gossip, and since Odelia doesn’t seem to be making any headway in the case it’s up to Max and Dooley to save the day and find that telling clue that will lead them to Donna’s killer. Will Max be able to stick to his diet? Will Gran be able to control her online shopping habits? And will Odelia and Chase finally go on their first date? Find out in Purrfect Crime, the fifth installment in the funny cozy cat mystery series The Mysteries of Max.

Product description

About the Author

Nic has a background in political science and before being struck by the writing bug worked odd jobs around the world (including but not limited to massage therapist in Mexico, gardener in Italy, restaurant manager in India, and Berlitz teacher in Belgium).When he's not writing he enjoys curling up with a good (comic) book, watching British crime dramas, French comedies or Nancy Meyers movies, sampling pastry (apple cake!), pasta and chocolate (preferably the dark variety), twisting himself into a pretzel doing morning yoga, going for a run, and spoiling his big red tomcat Tommy.He lives with his wife (and aforementioned cat) in a small village smack dab in the middle of absolutely nowhere and is probably writing his next 'Mysteries of Max' book right now.

4.0 out of 5 stars Did Not Like The Ending
Reviewed in the United States on 13 July 2023
Verified Purchase
The story was good enough for four stars, but the ending was really weak. I was planning to read the next book in this series until then, so I won't let a lousy ending change my mind, but I am extremely disappointed. And if the next book has an equally lousy ending even if the book is mostly equally entertaining, I will only give the book three stars. But I would probably still continue reading the series as long as most of the books continue to be good up until the end because I don't mind making up my own ending if I like most of the story. Which is probably weird of me, but I like making up occasional bits of stories as long as most of the story is good enough because I read a ton of books and there are not enough five star books so I end up reading some four star and three star books and rewriting a few minor bits in my mind when I am particularly disappointed by a short section of the story's plot.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perrrrfact Crime
Reviewed in Canada on 18 June 2021

Another enjoyable clean cozey murder mystery so well written tastefully bringing one colorful suspect after another each character endearing another more woeful story of deception and pain given by the victim to those who came within her reach. But only one committed the crime and Nic Saint as always has given us readers a range of clues to unravel until the mystery comes to a conclusion. After all it takes more than one cat to find answers to this mystery it also takes Max's best friend Dooley and human Odelia. Acquire " Perrrfact Crime " so you yourself can enjoy it as much as I have 🙂Kat
