Mr. Pottermack's Oversight is a 1930 detective story by the British author R. Austin Freeman.[1] Part of his long-running series of novels featuring the forensic investigator Doctor Thorndyke, it was published in London by Hodder and Stoughton and in New York City by Dodd, Mead.[2] Freeman's Thorndyke stories stretched back to the Edwardian era, but this novel was released during the Golden Age of Detective Fiction. It is an inverted detective story in which the crime is shown early on and the preparator clearly shown. It was republished in 2024 as part of the British Library's Crime Classics series.[3]
