Reviews

The Bloodwood Clan deftly mixes elements of thriller, social commentary and feminist psychology.  I'll be disappointed if it's not included in next year's Montana shortlist.

 –Iain SharpNew Zealand Sunday Star Times

The Bloodwood Clan is ... totally engrossing. Fletcher cleverly depicts the closed nature of both communities and the inherent danger for members in maintaining secrets and lies ... this book deserves to be widely read.

 –Mary PhilipThe Courier-Mail

The Bloodwood Clan is a sociological thriller in which [Fletcher's] growing experience as a writer is obvious in the tight pace of the narrative and all that is left unsaid.

 –Margie ThomsonWeekend Herald

... an intriguing story... and an excellent allegory of life in some of today's traditional churches.

 –The Victorian Baptist Witness November

This is a very exciting novel which deserves reading.

 –Grace ChiangBlitz
