Description

Join Lulu Lewis, a retired detective with a knack for uncovering secrets, and Conrad, her extraordinary talking cat, as they take on their latest case.

Hoping for a relaxing break, Lulu sets off with Conrad on her canal boat The Lark to the picturesque city of Bath to visit friends. But Christmas cheer soon gives way to festive fear when the pair learn of a ruthless kidnapping plot that is plaguing parents in the area.

As the kidnappers fuel panic with further demands, the pair must unravel clues faster than Conrad can charm with his witty banter if they are to stand any chance of bringing the criminals to justice in time to save the holidays . . .

The Cat and the Christmas Kidnapper by L T Shearer is a charming cosy crime read for fans of Richard Osman and S. J. Bennett.

About the Author

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. The story continues with The Cat Who Solved Three Murders and The Cat Who Cracked a Cold Case.

Critical Reviews

"A charming, offbeat story with some great characters. 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, author of A Death in Diamonds, on The Cat Who Caught a Killer

"Charming and original. This book is the cat's whiskers" --Anthony Horowitz, author of Close To Death, on The Cat Who Caught a Killer

"A captivating, charming and gentle tale, perfect for all those who love their crime cosy" --Peter James, author of One of Us Is Dead, on The Cat Who Caught a Killer

"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, on The Cat Who Solved Three Murders

"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, on The Cat Who Solved Three Murders
