Purrfect Rivalry

Murder, Mayhem… and a Catfight for the Ages! When megastar Charlie Dieber narrowly survives an assassination attempt, but his bodyguard takes the bullet instead, reporter Odelia Poole—a proud Bedieber—jumps at the chance to help solve the case. Teaming up with Detective Chase Kingsley, she dives into the glitzy (and not-so-glamorous) world of celebrity, secrets, and scandal. Meanwhile, Odelia’s feline sleuths have their own crisis to deal with. Their archenemy Diego has returned to Hampton Cove, determined to oust Max, Dooley, and Brutus from Odelia’s life and claim their cushy spot as top cat detective. The only one who can help them? Their feral ally, Clarice—but there’s just one problem. She’s been adopted by none other than Charlie Dieber himself. With a killer on the loose, a pop star in danger, and a feline rivalry reaching catastrophic levels, Odelia and Max must work fast before someone takes another shot—or worse, Diego wins. Can Max and his crew outsmart their cunning rival? Will Odelia uncover the truth before the killer strikes again? And is Grandma really heading to Washington to shake up politics? Find out in Purrfect Rivalry, the next hilarious, fast-paced installment in The Mysteries of Max—the purrfect cozy mystery for fans of whisker-sharp wit, clever cats, and feline-fueled fun!
