Every Sunday we are taking a look at the world of books. I read a lot and always want to share my opinions on what I read, so I thought it would be fun to write reviews. Today we are looking at the third book in this series of books…

The Cat Who Cracked a Cold Case:  (2024)

LT Shearer

Synopsis

A crime gone unsolved for five years . . .

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) Special because he told her so. Yes, that’s right, he can talk. (For obvious reasons, this ability
remains a closely guarded secret while they live together on her canal boat, The Lark.)

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

Positive Points

This book is a good read and has a lot of twists and turns along the way, it is well described and the crime is different to the last two books and it is in a different city so it means that there are new areas to explore.

Negative Points

A lot of the police process are over described at times, also the main star of the book, Conrad the Cat is lacking in this book.

Overall Review

This book is an interesting read but I would say that this is the weakest book in the series as it does not feature Conrad a lot. The case is interesting but at times it feels a bit long on some of the police descriptions.

Rating : ***’ 3.5 Stars
