Mysteries of Max: Books 49-51 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798232570606)

Babies, bungling politicians, and baguettes-Max is barely holding it together.

Big changes are afoot in Hampton Cove. Odelia is about to give birth, and Max is preparing for a new (tiny, loud, and possibly sticky) addition to the household. But just as the family gets ready to welcome a bundle of joy, Gran adopts a dog (a dog!), and two murders throw any hope of a peaceful delivery out the window.

Then comes maternity leave-or as Max calls it, the calm before the storm. A disgraced Prime Minister arrives uninvited, turning the Poole household into a diplomatic disaster zone. So much for rest and relaxation.

Finally, a trip to Paris offers a change of scenery, but Max and Dooley's dreams of flaky pastries and fancy fish dishes are dashed when Odelia brings them along. Between dodging tourists, investigating French mysteries, and being forced to admire tall metal structures, Max is once again in over his fluffy head.

This omnibus edition includes Purrfect Baby, Purrfect Mess, and Purrfect Paris-three heartwarming and hilarious mysteries full of family chaos, international intrigue, and a cat who just wants a nap (and maybe a croissant).
