Sarah Todd Taylor 
Max the Detective Cat: The Phantom Portrait 

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.
