Princess Fuzzypants here: I enjoyed this book from beginning to end. Lulu and Conrad make an amazing team. Former Met Inspector and talking cat…who only talks to Lulu, I might add….are going to get to the bottom of two murders even if it means shredding the lives of two of Lulu’s oldest friends. It is clear very quickly that the second murder was very personal and it then casts suspicion on the events of the first one. What is most perplexing for Lulu is the shocking truth about people whom she loves. Thankfully Conrad is a good listening post and he provides very good insights. He is, after all, a cat.

Even though I did figure out the killer and the motive fairly early, there were layers and more layers that added to the tale and put different spins on some of my suspicions. Lulu and Conrad do get to the bottom of the deceptions. And like the mysteries themselves, the ending is neither black nor white. But it did leave me wanting more of this twosome. Five purrs and two paws up.
