'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

The Cat Who Solved Three Murders by L T Shearer is a charming cosy crime read for fans of Richard Osman and S. J. Bennett.

Retired police detective Lulu Lewis's life changed forever when she met a street cat named Conrad. There's something very special about Conrad, but it's a secret she has to keep to herself.

When Lulu takes her narrowboat to Oxford, she is planning nothing more stressful than attending a friend's birthday party. And drinking a few glasses of Chardonnay.

But a brutal murder and a daring art theft means her plans are shattered - instead she and Conrad find themselves on the trail of a killer . . .

A killer who may well strike again.

'A charming, off-beat story with some great characters and wonderful locations' - S. J. Bennett on The Cat Who Caught a Killer

Conrad the cat detective and retired police detective Lulu Lewis travel to Oxford on their canal boat and investigate a case of art theft in a grand country manor house.

Reviews
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
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
A charming, off-beat story with some great characters and wonderful London locations. 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 on The Cat Who Caught a Killer
A captivating, charming and gentle tale, perfect for all those who love their crime cozy -- Peter James on The Cat Who Caught a Killer
Charming and original. This book is the cat's whiskers -- Anthony Horowitz on The Cat Who Caught a Killer
