Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Tom Fletcher (1) Prijzen
A simply brilliant debut novel which will rank alongside Mark Billingham's SLEEPYHEAD. Patrick Lennon writes in a wonderfully heightened, evocative style, making the back-streets of Cambridge 'the flip-side of the colleges and tourist-traps' and the eerie flatness of the Fens his own. It begins for Tom Fletcher with what looks like a very bloody accident in a farm machinery showroom, and reaches back into the past - his own and that of the local police force - before slamming into the present with all the foce of the most up-to-date criminal power in the world. Crackling with secrets and surprises, packed with haunting landscapes and haunted characters, freighted with the hot thundery atmosphere of a Cambridge summer and the inevitable paying-out of past betrayals, CORN DOLLS marks the arrival of a major new crime talent.

A local pagan festival called 'The Thinbeach Wedding' seems to be the magnet for the killer,who is planning something rather different than the villagers are expecting during the event.
The writing describes the countryside around Cambridge wonderfully and most of the characters are suitably weird. An original idea which keeps you reading to the last page. ( )
