The Cat Who Cracked a Cold Case

Conrad the cat and retired police detective Lulu Lewis travel to Manchester on their canal boat, where they must investigate a cold case--because it seems the killer has returned...

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) he told her this himself.

Yes, that's right, he can talk. (For obvious reasons, this ability remains a closely guarded secret while they live together on Lulu's canal boat, The Lark.)

Visiting an old friend in Manchester, the pair stumbles upon a chilling news report about a trail of bodies found across the city that echoes 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.

The Cat Who Cracked a Cold Case by L T Shearer is a charming cozy crime read for fans of Richard Osman and S. J. Bennett. It follows the events of The Cat Who Caught a Killer and The Cat Who Solved Three Murders.
