I always knew I had what it takes to be a police cat. I just never expected anyone to make it official.
When Abigail Bunn-a quiet woman with a talent for creating fiendishly difficult puzzles-is found strangled in a neighborhood park, Odelia and Chase are handed a case with no suspects, no motive, and practically no clues.
Naturally, Uncle Alec decides this is the perfect moment to establish Hampton Cove's first official feline police unit.
Which would be flattering if he hadn't called it F9.
Before Dooley, Harriet, Brutus, and I can decide whether we actually want badges, Abigail's body disappears from the morgue and turns up in Scarlett Canyon's freezer. Then someone throws a brick through Scarlett's window with a warning attached, and a second victim is found murdered in another park.
The only apparent connection between the victims leads to a very discreet club offering companionship to lonely women. Soon Gran is organizing an undercover operation, Scarlett is revisiting certain questionable life choices, and the rest of us are trying to decide whether catching a killer is worth exposing ourselves to quite so much sin.
Meanwhile, Grace and her classmates have started rebelling against their parents, expensive gifts keep mysteriously appearing at Odelia's house, and half of Hampton Cove is fighting over a shipment of luxury easy chairs that may not be quite as luxurious as advertised.
With two murders to solve, Scarlett's life in danger, and a killer determined to stay hidden, it's up to me to fit the pieces together before someone else becomes part of this deadly puzzle.
After all, I may not be an official police cat yet.
But that has never stopped me from catching a killer.
Purrfect Sin is a laugh-out-loud cozy mystery packed with secret clubs, baffling clues, family chaos, suspicious gifts, and one big-boned blorange detective who knows that humans are at their most dangerous when love, jealousy, and murder become hopelessly tangled.
From the long-running Mysteries of Max series.
Each book contains a complete standalone mystery.
