Rosemary Herbert

Whodunit?

A Who's Who in Crime & Mystery Writing

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

James, Ian Rankin, Sherlock Holmes and Kinsey Millhone appear in individual entries. Still more keep company in articles about characters we admire, such as the Clerical Sleuth, and in pieces about those we love to hate, including the Femme Fatale and Con Artist. There is even an article on a figure that haunts so many great works of mystery -The Corpse. Drawing on the Edgar Award-nominated volume The Oxford Companion to Crime & Mystery Writing, Herbert has added 101 new entries on the hottest new names in works ranging from puzzling whodunits to chilling crime novels.

A mystery expert investigates how the giants of the genre pull off all those crimes and keep the twists coming page after page, then shows readers how they can do it too.
