Richly imaginative...could just possibly turn Tom Fletcher into another Morse
The Times on STEEL WITCHES
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

An intelligent and well-written examination of prejudice and paranoia, misogyny, jealousy and fear

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.
