'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 . . .

If you absolutely love cats and want to have an easy & cosy read, this is for you. The crime story itself is not spectacular, the role of the cat makes it special.I did not like that some parts were quite conservative: The author points out characters‘ origins/ethnic backgrounds to serve clichés: the Hungarian girl is the nurse, the Spanisch woman has harsh temperament and bad manners, the Indian guy is a fraudster. The book also often critisised the modern world: downplaying cyber mobbing, being shocked about young people having much piercings, snide comments about people „always being on their smartphone“. So brace yourself for statements à la „Everything was better in the old times“.There is also a lot of bragging about rich people stuff, a lot of pointing out that someone made a small investment in the past which is worth a fortune 20 years later. A bit frustrating for millenials/gen Z who will probably never own a home to read this again and again (my guess: ~10 times in this book).Parts were also quite repetitive, so the story was unnecessarily drawn out.
