Description

"Murder by the Book?" examines the blossoming genre of the feminist crime novel in Britain and the US. This text asks: why the form has proved so attractive as a vehicle for oppositional politics; whether the pleasures of detective fiction can be truly transgressive; and when the dyke detective appeared as the new super-hero for today. Along the way, Munt poses some critical questions about the relationship between fiction and activism, politics and representations, the writer and the reader. This book should appeal to both addicts of the genre and to teachers and their students.
