Last night I finished reading Nic Saint's first book in his series, "The Mysteries of Max." I guessed the killer 2/3 of the way through the book and didn't particularly like it. Then I began the second book in the series, in which the victim is a dissipated 80s pop star, John Paul George, and I laughed a lot. The first couple of chapters are better than the entire first book.
I'm not sure I like the over-all concept: reporter Odelia Poole is a descendant of New England witches and can talk to her cat Max and his best frend Dooley. The locale is a Long Islanmd Hampton;s town, Hampton Cove. I'll finish the second and see if I want to read any more of the 63(! ! !) Max books.
