What to expect

The Cat Who Caught a Killer by L T Shearer is a charming cosy crime listen for fans of Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club and S. J. Bennett’s The Windsor Knot.

'Charming and original. This book is the cat’s whiskers' - Anthony Horowitz, author of The Twist of a Knife

Meet Conrad. Conrad is a cat. You’ve never met a detective like him before.


Neither has Lulu Lewis, until 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 in a nearby care home.

But when her mother-in-law 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 . . .

Critics Review

  • 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, author of The Windsor Knot and A Three Dog Problem
  • A captivating, charming and gentle tale, perfect for all those who love their crime cozy

    Peter James, author of the Roy Grace series
  • Charming and original. This book is the cat’s whiskers

    Anthony Horowitz, author of The Word is Murder and the Sherlock Holmes novels The House of Silk and Moriarty
