What They're Saying

Critics Review

Richly imaginative could just possibly turn Tom Fletcher into another Morse - The Times

A terrific climax…A breadth to the story that is captivating, as well as some finely drawn characters and lovely language, but the star must be the fantastic landscape - Tangled Web

‘Intelligent and well-written examination of prejudice and paranoia, misogyny, jealousy and fear’ - Times Literary Supplement

The reader ends up in a rather emotional state…becoming increasingly agitated as the book enticingly drip-feeds small, tasty morsels of the second tale before suddenly switching back to its main focus. The ending is also excellent and has the added bonus of a delightfully unexpected twist. STEEL WITCHES is an extremely enjoyable book. - eurocrime.co.uk

The undoubted strengths of this book are Lennon’s storytelling and his ability to ramp up the atmosphere…a truly tense ending…If you’re a fan of Jim Kelly, you should give Lennon’s books a try…an unusual and exciting slant - Reviewingtheevidence.com

A writer to watch - Mark Billingham

Multi-layered and deeply satisfying … an engaging series character with a genuine emotional life - Shotsmag on CORN DOLLS

A great read that mixes politics, historical pageantry, resentment and revenge in a seemingly quiet Cambridge village. Highly recommended - Sarah Broadhurst on CORN DOLLS
