Cut Out

Reviews / Votes

Crooked soldiers, cheating journalists, heroin smuggling, imaginative killing sprees . . . Lennon's latest has it all * <i>News of the World</i> on CUT OUT * Powerful, descriptive, atmospheric . . . CUT OUT is part of a series, but easily works as a standalone . . . Lennon is a natural storyteller, with an eye for his setting - the bleak Fens and the depressing small towns, alongside the barely suppressed tension in the barracks . . . The ending blasts out of a clear blue sky, with some sharp and shocking switchbacks. * <i>www.reviewingtheevidence.com</i> * A brutal examination of betrayal by an author who knows how to show exactly what his characters are putting in jeopardy * Natasha Cooper, author and book critic * A really exhilarating page turner * <i>Eurocrime.co.uk</i> * Richly imaginative...could just possibly turn Tom Fletcher into another Morse * <i>The Times</i> 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 * <i>Tangled Web</i> on STEEL WITCHES * An intelligent and well-written examination of prejudice and paranoia, misogyny, jealousy and fear * <i>Times Literary Supplement</i> on STEEL WITCHES * 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 * <i>Reviewingtheevidence.com</i> on STEEL WITCHES * Multi-layered and deeply satisfying...an engaging series character with a genuine emotional life * <i>Shotsmag</i> on CORN DOLLS * A writer to watch * Mark Billingham * The reader ends up in a rather emotional state...becoming increasingly agitated...a delightfully unexpected twist...an extremely enjoyable book * <i>eurocrime.co.uk</i> on STEEL WITCHES * 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 * <i>Tangled Web</i> 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. * <i>reviewingtheevidence.com</i> on CORN DOLLS * A new author and a new character . . . both have great promise . . . well worth following * <i>Publishing News</i> on CORN DOLLS * PI Tom Fletcher of the highly atmospheric CORN DOLLS returns in another Cambridgeshire tale...a great character * <i>Bookseller</i> *
