A killer on the loose. A scandal in the making. And one chonky tabby on the case.

When '80s pop legend John Paul George is found floating facedown in his pool, Hampton Cove's favorite feline detective, Max, knows something fishy is going on—and it's not just the tuna casserole at the wake. Along with his feline sidekicks, Dooley and Harriet, Max is determined to track down the killer and help his human, Odelia Poole, crack the case.

Meanwhile, new town cop Chase Kingsley is dealing with a scandal that could cost him his badge. Odelia decides to lend a hand—even if it means keeping Chase's smug, muscle-bound cat, Brutus, in town. Brutus, of course, has his own agenda, starting with taking Max's place as Hampton Cove's top cat detective.

As the team paws through suspects—including disgruntled ex-wives, sketchy boy toys, and a surprising number of drug dealers—Max finds himself one whisker away from disaster. Can he outwit the killer before he ends up swimming with the fishes? And more importantly, will he finally get a taste of John Paul George's famous gourmet cat pâté?

Purrfectly Deadly is the second book in The Mysteries of Max series, perfect for fans of quirky cozy mysteries, feline sleuths, and whisker-twitching fun!
