About this listen

'Conrad is a delight' – S.J. Bennett

Join Lulu Lewis, a retired detective with a knack for exposing mysteries, and Conrad, her extraordinary talking cat, as they take on their spookiest case yet . . .


Lulu and Conrad dock in Stratford-upon-Avon to visit friends for Halloween. But the festivities take a haunting turn when a local midnight performance of Macbeth ends with the lead actor collapsing on stage.

The plot thickens with the revelation of another cast member's recent mysterious demise. Can Lulu and Conrad unravel the town’s eerie secrets and uncover the truth behind these sinister Halloween deaths before the curtain falls once more?

Critic 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)
