The Mysteries of Max is a long-running cozy mystery series by Nic Saint. Every book in the series has a title starting with “Purrfect,” from Purrfect Murder to Purrfect Betrayal and beyond. The stories are told from the perspective of Max and his fellow cats, who observe clues and overhear conversations that help their owner Odelia Poole solve cases in the small town of Hampton Cove.
With 104 books published between 2017 and 2026, this is one of the most prolific cozy mystery series currently in print. The books are relatively short and designed to be read quickly, which suits the lighthearted tone. Fans of talking-animal mysteries and cat-themed cozies will find this series has no shortage of material. New readers should start with Purrfect Murder, the first book, and read in publication order to follow the ongoing character developments.
