Books: ‘The Life of Crime’ by Martin Edwards
I just finished reading The Life of Crime: Detecting the History of Mysteries and their Creators by Martin Edwards.
This 2022 release is a 622-page comprehensive history of mystery writing, from the eighteenth century to the present. Each chapter contains numerous footnotes, and the book includes a bibliography and two indexes at the back: an Index of Titles and an Index of Names. 724 pages total.
