Critics Review
Exciting, exhilarating, scary and moving in about equal measure, The Oversight is a teeming world of dark deeds and dark magics, brilliantly realised. This feels like the start of something amazing
The Oversight is - and let’s be clear here - something very special … It’s oh so moreish a morsel. I’d read a prequel this evening, a sequel as soon as. - Tor.comTold in a kind of compelling and hypnotic poesie that I just lapped up … I’ll certainly be reading the next one - BoingBoing.netA remarkable combination of British folklore, brisk pacing and wide-ranging imagination - Kirkus ReviewsRichly atmospheric (the evil lurks in the background of every paragraph), the book should be a big hit with supernatural-fantasy readers … the second book can’t come soon enough - Booklist (starred review)Fletcher’s Victorian London is juicily vivid, and laced with macabre wit. There’s a real sense of grim danger, both natural and unnatural, hungrily awaiting the slightest mis-stepA richly atmospheric and intensely readable slice of Victoriana, with a splendidly eerie sense of the way the unearthly lies cheek-by-jowl with the mundaneUtterly enthralling: Charles Dickens meets Susanna ClarkeAbout The Author
