The third in Shearer's much-loved feline crime series, The Cat Who Cracked a Cold Case finds retired police detective Lulu and sleuthing moggy Conrad investigate a spate of Manchester murders worrying similar to a cold case in London.
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 . . .

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
I’m already a fan of Conrad the cat and his companion, Lulu, having read the two earlier books featuring this wonderful crime solving duo so I was delighted to receive a review copy of their latest escapade.

As usual in my reviews, I will not rehash the plot (plenty of others like that out there already).
I absolutely loved this book - the further adventures of Lulu and Conrad!
This time the action moves gently up...
