AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Crime fiction is a label that covers a huge variety of literary production. Those of us who read so much of it usually have distinct preferences. I’m not so keen on those books, or television series, that get deeply into post- mortem dissections and dismemberments. I don’t like novels of serial killers or child abuse. I prefer private-eyes to police procedure, though I enjoy Colin Dexter’s Morse and Peter Robinson’s Banks and Ann Cleeves’ Vera and Garry Disher’s Challis and Destry series. And Arthur Upfield’s Bony series, even if they are now deemed to be politically incorrect. But I can also enjoy cosy country-house mysteries. And espionage and conspiracy I lap up. In fact, I can read most of it.' (Introduction)
