Description
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 homicides before the curtain falls once more?
