Description

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
