R.I.P.ped From The Headlines When Dick Dickerson, notorious editor of the National Star, is found drowned in duck dung, the investigation quickly gets mired down when trying to figure out who’s behind the attack on the tabloid kingpin. Politicians, movie stars and captains of industry consistently found themselves in Dickerson’s crosshairs, but who would stoop so low as murder? While Odelia Poole and Detective Chase Kingsley conduct their investigation, Odelia’s cat coterie is up in arms when a newcomer turns the peaceful town of Hampton Cove into a soap opera of gossip, scandal and secrets. Soon the ‘Fab Four’ (Max, Dooley, Harriet and Brutus) are duking it out, their friendship in ruins, Max’s reputation in tatters. It doesn’t help that Grandma Muffin is waging a personal vendetta against her son-in-law’s new receptionist Scarlett Canyon, determined to get rid of her long-time nemesis once and for all. Against the backdrop of all this bickering, backstabbing and strife, is it any wonder Max starts to wonder if Dickerson’s killer will be the one that got away?

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.

The characters are fantastic and quirky. The plot is twisty. The world building is great. These books have a lot of humor in them. I'm looking forward to reading the next book.

There was too much Milo in this story. There was too much deceit I'm part of the cats. Going to take a rest on this series. I didn't enjoy Milo at will pick up in time again I'm sure Nick has some better stories.

The characters are precious. You are reminded of things we often forget that we all have different stories to tell. Milo is now a favorite. Dooley is so funny and Max is so wise. I just love the books I will follow these characters through the last book. Well into book 9.
Thank you Nick Saint

Maybe people should be careful who or what. they leave their pets home with. A lonesome pet can easily break up a group of bff without even trying. Oh, the duck poop? I did enjoy the story and recommend the book.

Over all this was a fun read. Not sure if I liked the whole Milo story. Unique way to commit a murder. Still, this is a really good book and the series is great. Highly Recommend!!
