Martin Edwards is the closest thing there has been to a philosopher of crime writing. The Times





In the first major history of crime fiction in fifty years, The Life of Crime: Detecting the History of Mysteries and their Creators traces the evolution of the genre from the eighteenth century to the present, offering brand-new perspective on the worlds most popular form of fiction.



Author Martin Edwards is a multi-award-winning crime novelist, the President of the Detection Club, archivist of the Crime Writers Association and series consultant to the British Librarys highly successful series of crime classics, and therefore uniquely qualified to write this book. He has been a widely respected genre commentator for more than thirty years, winning the CWA Diamond Dagger for making a significant contribution to crime writing in 2020, when he also compiled and published Howdunit: A Masterclass in Crime Writing by Members of the Detection Club and the novel Mortmain Hall. His critically acclaimed The Golden Age of Murder (Collins Crime Club, 2015) was a landmark study of Detective Fiction between the wars.



The Life of Crime is the result of a lifetime of reading and enjoying all types of crime fiction, old and new, from around the world. In what will surely be regarded as his magnum opus, Martin Edwards has thrown himself undaunted into the breadth and complexity of the genre to write an authoritative and readable study of its development and evolution. With crime fiction being read more widely than ever around the world, and with individual authors increasingly the subject of extensive academic study, his expert distillation of more than two centuries of extraordinary books and authors from the tales of E.T.A. Hoffmann to the novels of Patricia Cornwell into one coherent history is an extraordinary feat and makes for compelling reading.

Recenzijas

Magisterial but wickedly entertaining reliably readable and frequently amusing. It also inspires awe: Edwards combines wide reading with a good memory, meticulous control over his unruly material, critical acumen and sheer bloody persistence. ANDREW TAYLOR, THE SPECTATOR



As entertaining and illuminating a history of crime and thriller fiction as Ive ever read. IAN RANKIN



Impressively scholarly and joyfully anecdotal its hard to imagine this book being superseded for many years to come. MORNING STAR



Vastly entertaining [ Edwards] plots the development of the genre and the bizarre lives of writers Youll find all your favourites here, from Edgar Allan Poe to PD James But be warned youll end up with a reading list as long as a giants arm. DENIS MANN, DAILY EXPRESS



A magisterial history of mysteries and their creators. THE TIMES



There is plenty here for mystery readers, whether well-versed in the genres history or not and mystery writers will welcome this book as a resource. THE NEW YORK TIMES



A magisterial work THE LIFE OF CRIME does more than just inform, entertain and provoke, it also sends new readers back to old books. THE WASHINGTON POST



REVIEWS FOR MARTIN EDWARDS:



Few, if any, books about crime fiction have provided so much information and insight so enthusiastically and, for the reader, so enjoyably THE TIMES



Illuminating and entertaining provides a new way of looking at old favourites. LEN DEIGHTON, author of The Ipcress File



Forensically sharp and exhaustively informed Crime fiction is driven by death. In this superbly compendious and entertaining book, Edwards ensures that dozens of authorial corpses are gloriously reborn. MARK LAWSON, Guardian
