L.T. Shearer: The cat who caught a killer

Here is a book that has garnered a lot of one-star reviews. One reader even summed it up by saying that this is a book written by a boomer about a boomer for boomers.

The Cat Who Caught a Killer (affiliate link) is apparently in the cozy crime genre, which is not suitable for me due to its boredom. I need some action, and some blood and guts.

Lulu is a retired police officer who has recently lost her husband. Then a cat named Conrad, who can talk, comes into her life. Then someone close to Lulu dies. Was it a murder?

I couldn't get over the cat talking alone. The book is also boring and constantly repeats things. There is no real murder mystery, and the cat doesn't solve the murder.

 

 

There are sequels to this book, but they don't interest me.

Dean Nicholson: Nala's World

Dean Nicholson's book Nala's World (affiliate link) had been on my reading list for a long time. And now it was making me cry even before I started reading it. It wasn't until I was about to do it that I started thinking about the name Nala. Is it from The Lion King? I've never seen that movie, but I recently played the game Disney Dreamlight Valley, where Nala became my favorite character. The answer is yes.

Dean Nicholson's dream is to cycle around the world. On his way, he meets an abandoned kitten. That encounter changes both of their lives.

This is a wonderful book, not only about the friendship and adventures of a man and a cat, but about much more. It's hard to even say it out loud. About the goodness of people.

A full five stars and a big recommendation, especially for all cat lovers.
