Publisher's summary

In South London, England, a serial killer appears to be on the loose. Victims have been cruelly slain, bodies are piling high and fear grips the community. But the victims aren’t humans - they’re domestic cats, cute little kitties!

The killings spark a relentless investigation by animal rescue group SNARL, led by the formidable Boudicca Rising, her partner Tony and rock musician Rob. Acclaimed journalist Nancy Miller - who helped track down the infamous Golden State Killer - journeys from the US to help the amateur sleuths crack the case. As ever more victims emerge, the police reluctantly get involved, but doubts about the killer’s existence persist. When the attacks spread beyond London, fear and tension rise, leaving investigators and the public questioning who - or what - is really behind the crimes. And time is running out to solve the mystery with fears growing the killer could ‘species jump’– literally escalate from slaying cats to murdering humans.

Follow Nancy in the hunt for the so-called Croydon Cat Killer in this gripping podcast, which weaves together elements of true crime, a murder mystery, a love story and obsession.

Meh for me

It was a quick listen for sure, but didn't really pull me in. Then the ending seemed lack luster to me.

Fascinating!!

I really enjoyed this series and blasted through the episodes in a weekend! I loved Nancy’s rich storytelling style with a journalist’s perspective….shining light on this incredible mystery.

Could not stop once I started!

True crime and cats go together like peanut butter and jelly!

Simply amazing listen. Highly recommend.

Crazy good story!

Loved all of it. Such a good listen. I want more please! So glad I found this.

New Favorite Pawdcast

This episode was KILLER, pun intended!

Nancy did an amazing job providing suspense and comfort! Can't wait for next episode!

So well done!

This is an important topic to talk about…people who harm and kill animals tend to go on to do the same to people. Keep it coming!

Fun to listen to, but…

While the first half was really entertaining, the lack of a conclusion of sorts or a resolution was a little disappointing. As the story evolves, you cannot help but question whether there was indeed a cat serial killer.

Four Hours too long

So, she dragged us around for 4 hours and we still have no idea who's doing it? This is basically a story about some internet sleuths who have no clue what they're doing.
