A quick review of From the Cradle:
This is a very British book. That is, even if you watch BBC America, if you don't have at least a passing familiarity with South Londoner dialect and culture, you may find yourself spending some time on the internet trying to figure out if M&S is a grocery store or a coffee shop (It's actually the British equivalent of a Sears or Macy's; some stores have coffee shops in them).
With that said, From the Cradle is a very engaging read. The story is gripping, the pacing is good. Though I personally had issues with some of the soap-opera elements that crop up in the latter part of the book, overall, I enjoyed it, and I give it four out of five stars and will consider reading more DCI Lennon novels.
