Max the Detective Cat: The Catnap Caper
With a beautifully fluffy tail and a keen nose for adventure, Max the Detective Cat (HerculePoirot in feline form) is ready for any mystery…
The pampered cats of Paris are being kidnapped! Can it have something to do with a singing competition that is gripping the city? Max knows he has to solve the mystery and bring them home. Especially as he’s fallen in love with one of the victims…
Extract:
Oscar sighed. “Well, I suppose this one will have to be solved by the police,” he said. Maximilian frowned. It would be rather splendid to solve a kidnapping. Though Max did not like to admit it, one of his favourite things about the cases he had solved had been how much of a fuss everyone made of him afterwards, and a kidnapping would make him a real hero!
• Everyone loves a crime-busting cat!
• Beautifully written and highly illustrated throughout.
• New look covers for all the books in the series.
• Rides the popular wave of historical thrillers, but with a feline twist!
• The exciting third instalment in this middle-grade mystery series; plenty of fun and drama with a vintage crime feel.
Editor says:
“Maxis the best cat detective out there! He’s brave and determined, and nothing, not even a delicious salmon mousse, will distract him from his case!”

Love the cover artwork, and the adventure sounds right my own feline adventuresome street. By the time this comes I should have read the first two and be primed and ready to go.
