“After a brisk introduction, this volume, edited by Forshaw, offers insights into a variety of twentieth- and twenty-first century iterations of the form. Crime fiction, he argues, is a genre that, while necessarily prescriptive, offers the possibility of ‘acute social critique.’ Although the surface pleasures of the detective story are considerable, the writers whom Forshaw has enlisted are at their most intriguing when discussing subtext. . . . The figure of the detective, a literary staple for more than a century-and-a-half, remains complex, shifting and fiercely modem. As Forshaw’s book makes plain, it still has much to offer in its curious combination of the comforting and confrontational.”
