About this listen

The Cat Who Cracked a Cold Case by L T Shearer is a charming cosy crime listen 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 . . .

Critic reviews

A charming, off-beat 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 (SJ Bennett, author of A Death in Diamonds on The Cat Who Caught a Killer)

Charming and original. This book is the cat’s whiskers (Anthony Horowitz, author of Close to Death on The Cat Who Caught a Killer)

A captivating, charming and gentle tale, perfect for all those who love their crime cosy (Peter James, author of One of Us Is Dead on The Cat Who Caught a Killer)

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 Knife Skills for Beginners on Cat Who Solved Three Murders)

A terrific read - murder, arson and a cat who is so much more than he seems! (J. M. Hall, author of A Spoonful of Murder on Cat Who Solved Three Murders)
