Summary
Introduced by Craig Sherborne
The same week our fowls were stolen, Daphne Moran had her throat cut. Neddy Poindexter’s sister, Prudence, has turned sixteen and is the prettiest girl in Klynham. Neddy can’t protect her from the men in town, but can he protect her from the killer on the loose?
Part boys’ own adventure story, part small-town comedy and part horrifying thriller, The Scarecrow is of its own kind, an unexpected and irresistible masterpiece.

Critics Review
‘Had Dickens begun his career in the twentieth century and with a novel whose major theme was sex he might very well have produced a book like The Scarecrow.’ - Meanjin
