Synopsis
This book examines themes of crime fiction and detective stories. It provides historical context from Edgar Allan Poe to Agatha Christie, Dashiell Hammett and Patricia Cornwell, following the evolution of story formula and character types and how they relate to trends in social values of the time. The depth of character analysis offered by the author in their explorations of the motivations and psychological processes of both criminal and detective is particularly notable. From its roots as mere entertainment to complex modern sociological examination, the crime fiction genre has proven to be a reliable bellwether of social and philosophical trends and mores, mirroring and informing perceptions of good versus evil.
