"Harris has a terrific sense of place, hurtling between the wealthiest and most-run-down areas of London... The plot unfolds in a chilling and totally unexpected direction." -- Joan Smith Sunday Times "A fast-paced thriller that is also nuanced and evocative...hats off to Harris, who has, once again, managed it with style and authority." -- Laura Wilson Guardian "Non-stop activity is exhaustingly gripping, and Oliver Harris is punchy and perceptive." -- Marcel Berlins The Times "Meticulously plotted, with a delirious, haunted, paranoid atmosphere. Belsey is an irresistible mixture of the reliable and the reckless, laconic and tightly wound... Harris writes beautifully... Imbued with an uncommon subtlety and intelligence, House of Fame is a superb novel." -- Declan Hughes Irish Times "Harris has a rare ability to combine storytelling that has a freewheeling, improvisatory feel with a plot that has been long hours in the concocting... [Belsey] is fast becoming the best anti-hero in British crime fiction." Irish Independent
