Opis

Considering a range of neglected material, this book provides a richer view of how crime and criminality were understood between the wars.

Recenzje

'In this slim but thought provoking title, Victoria Stuart (sic) sets out to examine the relationship between real life crimes and interwar detective fiction … It is easy to tells that Stuart (sic) has put a lot of time and effort into researching her subject, as the additional footnotes have a wealth of interesting and important information, meaning that you don't need too much prior knowledge before reading the book. This is definitely a book I think golden age detective fiction fans will get a lot out of …' Kate Jackson, CADS (Crime and Detective Stories)
