The Cat Who Cracked a Cold Case by L T Shearer is a charming cosy crime read for fans of Richard Osman and S. J. Bennett.
A crime gone unsolved for five years . . .
The life of Lulu Lewis, a retired police detective, took an unforgettable turn when Conrad first introduced himself to her. Unforgettable because:
a) Conrad is a special cat.
b) Special because he told her so.
Yes, that's right, he can talk.
(For obvious reasons, this ability remains a closely guarded secret while they live together on her canal boat, The Lark.)
Visiting an old friend in Manchester, the pair stumble across a chilling news report about a trail of bodies found across the city that echo a string of cold case murders from Lulu's past in London.
Joining forces with the local police, the pair must use every ounce of their intuition in order to find a connection between the seemingly random killings - and track down a ruthless murderer . . .
'Conrad is a delight' - S. J. Bennett, author of The Queen Who Came in from the Cold
'Charming and original' - Anthony Horowitz, author of Close to Death
Rezensionen / Stimmen
A charming, offbeat story with some great characters. I'm sure it will make readers long for their own canal boat and quite possibly - if they don't already have one - their own talking cat. Conrad is a delight -- S. J. Bennett, author of <i>The Queen Who Came in from the Cold</i> on <i>The Cat Who Caught a Killer</i> Charming and original. This book is the cat's whiskers -- Anthony Horowitz, author of <i>Close to Death</i> on <i>The Cat Who Caught a Killer</i> A captivating, charming and gentle tale, perfect for all those who love their crime cosy -- Peter James on <i>The Cat Who Caught a Killer</i> A fabulous country mansion, an art heist and my favourite detective duo, Lulu and Conrad the cat. This had me curled up and purring from first page to last -- Orlando Murrin, author of <i>Knife Skills for Beginners</i>, on <i>The Cat Who Solved Three Murders</i> A terrific read - murder, arson and a cat who is so much more than he seems! -- J. M. Hall, author of <i>A Spoonful of Murder</i>, on <i>The Cat Who Solved Three Murders</i>
