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
