Book 21 of 86: The Mysteries of Max

See all formats and editions

Furrier Than Thou When Grandma Muffin announced she’d found religion, and started recruiting followers for her new church, I just figured it was par for the course. After all, Gran has always had an eccentric streak. But when Harriet decided to follow in Gran’s footsteps and teach us all about the meaning of life, it got my attention. And so it happened that the whole family headed downtown one night to attend their first Soul Science gathering, meeting Masters Omar and Sharif, the church’s charismatic leaders. Tex, meanwhile, was facing some problems of his own. A handsome young doctor had moved in across the street and had set up his office, and Tex’s patients were changing doctors in droves, leaving Odelia’s dad close to despair. There was something very peculiar about this new doctor, though, and it wasn’t just that everyone was so crazy about him. Soon we were all searching for the meaning of life and happiness, the location of our souls, and how to make this world a better place. And so when tragedy struck, it’s safe to say we were ill-prepared. I like to think that the events that unfolded made us all more spiritual, though. They certainly forced us to dig deep and look for our inner sleuths!

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.

Great story
It shows that family may not see eye to eye but it will always come back to be strong

Oh no! Gran's got religion. Or is it a cult? Still, she drags the whole family to Master Omar's Soul Science meeting, all in the name of being top recruiter. There's even a cat guru, Master Sharif, for the feline population.
Meanwhile, a new doctor has moved in across the street from Tex's office & is stealing his patients by slandering Tex's name.. This slippery, sleazy doc moves in on the Soul Science group. Now more people than Tex are upset with Dr. Jaqlyn Jones. So it's not surprising someone will take revenge. But did they have to shove the body in Tex's trunk? Looks like the Poole family will have to investigate on their own to get Tex out of the hoosegow and find the truth of who killed Jaq Jones?
Another romp through Hampton Cove where this time the whole Poole clan, feline & human, are going to save Tex. And Dooley, at the end, gets the greatest compliments from his BFF, Max that he's ever had.. Read the whole series. Quick reads & you will eagerly wonder how long till the next mysteries of Max is out. So sign up for their own mailing list to get notified, not only the Max mysteries but all of their different but equally great reads

Great cats

In the world of cat mysteries, Max is heavy on the cats and light on the mysteries. The Dr Doolittle trope threw me at first, as it bypasses the core obstacle of the genre, but I have found myself reading book after book anyway. Very enjoyable characters if you're looking for light reading.

Do cats have a soul? of course!

If there’s a murder during your garden party, just listen to the soul of your cat! You can learn a lot about life from a cat.

Another wonderful story

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2020

I'm so happy that I started the Mysteries of Max at the very beginning. Every time a new book comes out it's like visiting old friends all over again. And I meet new ones with almost every new tale.
When it seemed Nic Saint had come up with almost every storyline without becoming too absurd, there comes another one. What does Soul Science have to offer their little corner of the world? I'd say a rollercoaster ride. How many of the townsfolk with become followers? Why are the cats there? Does the happy, peaceful guidance to higher ideals lead to serenity among the participants? Who gets murdered? How does Tex get arrested for the death? Is it Max and his crew who flush out the killer this time?
A crazy but enjoyable read. This is an enjoyable story if you're looking for a quick read but I always recommend beginning with the first book and reading through. Absolutely wonderful series.

I love these cats

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2020

Since we are under Shelter in Place orders I have just finished reading all 21 of The Mysteries of Max books and have already pre-ordered book 21. These books were very enjoyable, especially with the kitties being able to talk and be understood by their humans Odelia, Marge and Gramma Vesta. I really loved the nighttime cat choir, but think I’m glad I don’t have to listen to them every night. Max has amazing detective skills, being able to sniff out the culprits and help Odelia figure out who the real murderer is and put them behind bars..Ginger kitties..oops Blorange, are really very special cats. I myself own a Harriet, a Dooley and a Brutus, just missing a Max. I highly recommend reading these wonderful books! They kept me up at night, reading just 1 more chapter until I would finish the book. I Would really like to see Harriet and Brutus adopt!

Book 21 of Max the Amazing cat and Odelia his human.
Another delight - full of all our favourite cats and humans.
A cult grows making the whole town into deep religion but the of course there is a murder. This is a real problem as there is so many who could have " done it"
Great story as always- onward to adventure 22!!!
