Recenzje

"Dr. Walter's very worthy and excellent book finds that several significant writers of detective and crime fiction offer serious discussions of numerous important issues in their masterpieces. In this most enlightening study Dr. Walter effectively posits that one primary purpose of these narratives of detective and crime fiction by Conan Doyle, Christie, and Bowers is a fundamental and devoted search for the truth."-Douglas G. Greene, Old Dominion University
