About this book
Reviews
“Daring and ambitious in its approach, up to date and cutting edge in its scholarship, and always solid and frequently brilliant in its analysis, Detective Fiction and the Problem of Knowledge will make a significant contribution to popular culture studies generally and crime fiction studies in particular, as it convincingly argues for the superiority of the term metacognitive mystery tale over metaphysical detective story.” (John Gruesser, Sam Houston State University, USA)
