Richly imaginative...could just possibly turn Tom Fletcher into another Morse
The Times
'Intricately woven ...thrilling climax...The 'Hardy-esque' link between atmospheric conditions and the progression of the story brilliantly enhances the tension in the book as it races towards its end...Not only is the central storyline well-written and gripping, it is cleverly intertwined with a separate account of old English witch trials...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...extremely enjoyable...an ideal book to lose oneself in.'

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.

A great read that mixes politics, historical pageantry, resentment and revenge in a seemingly quiet Cambridge village. Highly recommended
Sarah Broadhurst on CORN DOLLS
A strong series debut . . . evocative . . . a sharp plot which canters towards an explosive finish
Tangled Web on CORN DOLLS
More than an echo of The Wicker Man...entirely believable - this strange village in the middle of one of the UK's bleakest regions...A thoroughly gripping page-turner. Lennon marries the unusual Russian angle very slickly with the remote village and its odd traditions...If you're a fan of Jim Kelly's Fenland series, you shouldn't miss CORN DOLLS. It's a fabulous first novel.
