| Summary: | Within each ample chapter, she seeks to disentangle the ethnic and political roots of the modern states; holds forth on historical turning points; shares opinions on literary figures who did not gain fame for their abilities in the whodunit genre; sketches biographies of the most celebrated crime writers; and serves up a grocery list of prizes won by the authors (spoiler alert: if they never won anything, they are unlikely to be included). Just a partial list would encompass surgeons, actors, engineers, lawyers, guitarists, painters, biologists, public prosecutors, literary agents, pianists, teachers, nurses, comic book publishers, mountaineers, etiquette advisors, soccer players, photographers, construction workers, policemen and advertising reps. |
