WATERSTONES BEST CRIME BOOKS OF 2023 PICK
'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

Praise for The Cat Who Caught a Killer:
"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." —SJ Bennett, bestselling author of The Windsor Knot
"A captivating, charming and gentle tale, perfect for all those who love their crime cosy." —Peter James, bestselling author of the Roy Grace series

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.
