Average rating
With a beautifully fluffy tail and a keen nose for adventure, Max the Detective Cat is ready for any mystery…
The entire theatre company have travelled to Lord Fawley’s castle to put on a show for his daughter’s Halloween birthday ball! Rehearsals start well, but soon some ghostly goings-on and talk of a family curse have the actors in a panic. Never fear – Max the detective cat is on the case, and his whiskers are prickling with suspicion that these strange events have more to do with jewels than ghouls…
Beautifully illustrated throughout by Nicola Kinnear, Max the Detective Cat is perfect for readers aged 7+.
Check out all of Max’s adventures! The Disappearing Diva, The Phantom Portrait and The Catnap Caper.
Reviews
It was full of humour, detail and fun. It was absolutely wonderful. It makes me feel that I’m jealous because I don’t have a smart cat like Max! I love how he tries to tell everyone but they just give him salmon. Poor him! My favourite characters are Sylvia, Agnes and Max! I would recommend it to somebody who likes mystery and humour. Once again, I love it!

A good ghost story at an old rickety castle is always a good idea. Throw in a cat or two(not literally) and you have a fantastic book all ready for you.
