Critics Review
Utterly enthralling: Charles Dickens meets Susanna Clarke
Exciting, exhilarating, scary and moving in equal measure, The Oversight is a teeming world of dark deeds and dark magics, brilliantly realised. This feels like the start of something amazing
Fletcher’s Victorian London is juicily vivid, and laced with macabre Dickensian wit. There’s a real sense of grim danger, both natural and unnatural, hungrily awaiting the slightest misstepA dark and glinting book … told in a kind of compelling and hypnotic poesie that I just lapped up … I’ll certainly be reading the next oneThe Paradox is the real deal, darkly dusted Dickensian counter mythology at its very best.A highly entertaining fantasy that promises a trilogy worth sinking your teeth intoRichly 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 for The Oversight)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.comA richly atmospheric and intensely readable slice of Victoriana, with a splendidly eerie sense of the way the unearthly lies cheek-by-jowl with the mundaneAbout The Author
