One hot-air balloon, one dead neighbor, and one big-boned cat (that's me) stuck in the middle...

All I wanted was a nice long nap. Instead, a giant hot-air balloon landed in Hampton Cove, a couple of suspicious humans tried to catnap me and turn me into an Instagram star, and Gran and Scarlett decided to spy on the new neighbor dressed up as a pair of rabbits.

But when that new neighbor turns up dead—with a knife in his back—suddenly my peaceful day becomes a full-blown murder mystery, and my friends and I are thrust into the mystery. The rabbits are pointing paws, the dogs are lying through their teeth, and Gran is running her own investigation. Which means, once again, it's up to me to figure out who did it.

Can I catch a killer before Hampton Cove turns into complete chaos? And more importantly—will I ever get my nap?

Purrfect Balloon is another laugh-out-loud cozy cat mystery in the bestselling Mysteries of Max series, perfect for fans of talking pets, quirky townsfolk, and twisty whodunits served with humor and heart.
