'Charming and original. This book is the cat's whiskers' - Anthony Horowitz, author of The Twist of a Knife
The Cat Who Caught a Killer by L T Shearer is a charming cosy crime read, set in West London, for fans of Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club and S. J. Bennett's The Windsor Knot.
Meet Conrad. Conrad is a cat. You've never met a detective like him before.
Neither has Lulu Lewis, until he walks into her life one summer's day. Mourning the recent death of her husband, the former police detective had expected a gentle retirement, quietly enjoying life on her new canal boat, The Lark, and visiting her mother-in-law in a nearby care home.
But when her mother-in-law dies suddenly in suspicious circumstances, Lulu senses foul play and resolves to find out what really happened. And a remarkable cat named Conrad will be with her every step of the way . . .
