What They're Saying

Critics Review

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 The Hawk 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
