A purr-fectly charming cozy crime novel, ideal for fans of The Thursday Murder Club and The Windsor Knot, Shearer's whodunit revolves around a sinister death and the feline sleuth who helps crack the case.
Meet Conrad. You've never met a cat like him before.
Neither has Lulu Lewis, when he walks into her life one summer's day. Mourning the recent death of her husband, the former police detective had expected a gentle retirement, quietly enjoying life on her new canal boat, The Lark, and visiting her mother-in-law Emily in a nearby care home.
But when Emily dies suddenly in suspicious circumstances, Lulu senses foul play and resolves to find out what really happened. And a remarkable cat named Conrad will be with her every step of the way.
L T Shearer has had a lifelong love of canal boats and calico cats, and both are combined in The Cat Who Caught a Killer, a one-of-a-kind debut crime novel. You can find L T Shearer on Facebook at @LTShearerofficial.
