I have never really been a houseplant person. They take up too much space, and usually ruin whatever furniture they are placed on. Hubby has been quite grateful for this little fact about me. He knew that he was safe indoors. But now… not so much. Being stuck indoors because of the bad air has been a bit rough on me. I need to have my hands in dirt. So I have turned my attention to a few cute houseplants. I bought one for each of my baby bassets to have in their rooms, and one for hubby to have at the dinning room table where he works all day. Now I want to pick one out for me. What do I want? I have no clue. It’s a whole new plant world for me to explore. Hubby is a little irritated, but I keep telling him it is to help us keep the air clean in the house. All the horrid air outside is bad for the babies and we need this. HA… I played the “I’m doing it for the children” card.

4.3 Stars (314 Reviews)
Genre: Mystery | Mystery, Thriller & Suspense

FREE for a limited time

Sometimes it takes a cat to catch a killer.

There’s something special about Max. He may look like your regular ginger flabby tabby, but unlike most tabbies he can actually communicate with his human, reporter for the Hampton Cove Gazette Odelia Poole. Max takes a keen interest in the goings-on in their small town, by snooping around with his best friends Dooley, a not-too-bright ragamuffin, and Harriet, a gorgeous white Persian. Their regular visits to the police station, the barbershop and the doctor’s office provide them with those precious and exclusive scoops that have made Odelia the number one reporter in town.

But when suddenly the body of a bestselling writer is discovered buried in the last Long Island outhouse, and a new policeman arrives in town to solve the murder, it looks like things are about to change in Hampton Cove. Detective Chase Kingsley doesn’t take kindly to nosy reporters like Odelia snooping around his crime scene or interviewing his suspects. And to make matters worse, he’s got a cat of his own in Brutus, a buff, black bully, who, just like his owner, likes to lay down the law. Soon Brutus isn’t just restricting access to the police station, but he’s putting the moves on Harriet, breaking up the band.

Now it’s all Odelia, Max and Dooley can do to try and solve the murder, in spite of Detective Kingsley’s and Brutus’s protestations, and show the overbearing cop and his bullyragging feline how things are done in Hampton Cove. Will Odelia find the killer before Detective Kingsley does? And will Max prevent Brutus from moving in on his territory and taking over the town? Find out in Purrfect Murder, the first book in the popular Mysteries of Max series.

Where do you go after you’re torn from the only planet you’ve ever called home? What do you do when your new home despises foreigners?

Terson finds love when he meets Virene, an independent young woman chafing under the strict social controls herself. The couple do their best to conform, but their rebellious streak leads them beyond the colony’s boundaries where their attempt to rescue the crew of a crashed spacecraft unwittingly sets in motion a chain of events that threatens to expose not only Nivia’s dark secret, but that of a powerful criminal organization as well.
