Welcome to the official website for author Jennifer Lee Thomson. She also writes fiction as Jenny Thomson and non-fiction as Jennifer Thomson.
Vile City crime scene
It ain't Spielberg.
It isn't even a 5 year old with a mobile phone.
Here's the book trailer for Vile City.
Writers love reviews. Each is a gift.
Here's one for Vile City (Detective in a Coma Book 1) from @ShazzieRimmel at https://sharonbeyondthebooks.wordpress.com/2022/02/23/jennifer-lee-thomson-detective-in-a-coma-volume-one-vile-city/ who took part in my blog tour.
Thanks, Sharon. You made a writer smile today😀
Book 2 in the series that was once called Cannibal City will be out soon under the new name of Butcher City. Also from Diamond Books. You can see more of their titles at https://diamondbooks.co.uk/library/ and on Twitter @diamond_crime
Imagine my
surprise. I am invited to a blog tour of a book by an author. I recognise, go
to check everything out and discover I have read the second book already AND
loved it! Well, that made this book a pleasure to read, and I was super happy
to have the first book to read as well.
I do like a bit of
Scottish crime writing and feel the standard is set high, too. This is an
intense, multi layered, fast-paced story. Jennifer Lee Thomson keeps you on the
edge of your seat through. As you think you have got it cracked, she cranks it
up again and blows everything out of the water.
I was glad to be
able to feel like I knew DI Duncan Waddell. His partner is in a coma, and
Waddell thinks he is talking to him. It was great to delve into this book, as
it felt like I was getting to know more of the DI’s background. The
issues that are handled in the book incorporate the sex trafficking trade and
the demeaning and horrific acts that are inflicted upon the women.
Even with the heavy
subjects that this book deals with, Jennifer Lee Thomson has balanced it out
with humour and strong women throughout the story. It is an intriguing and
hard-hitting story that gets dark and gritty in places but tickles my
funny bone, too. The detective in a coma for me plays a large part in Waddell’s
life. The fact that I have already read Cannibal City gives me a sort of
insight to Waddell and Campbell that some won’t have.
A brilliant start
to a series that I know I enjoy so much. Anyone who loves a dark, gritty, but
funny too series!
