I was a bit surprised by this book when it arrived. Joolz Denby is a punk poet, and has written four noir crime novels, including Billie Morgan, longlisted for the Orange Prize. This quirky little novella with a long title features a large black cat and recipes at the back. Has Joolz really written a cosy?
Further reading: [[Dishonour by Helen Black|Dishonour]] and [[Blood Rush by Helen Black|Blood Rush]] by Helen Black feature Lily Valentine, a family lawyer trying to help children and teenagers in trouble.
