Talking About Detective Fiction by P.D. James

3.0

P.D. James discusses authors from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, and ruminates on the future of the genre. She offers interesting tidbits on the lives of many authors, and their feelings of affection and ambivalence toward their chosen subject matter. James also briefly covers the decline of the Golden Age in England as it is taken over by hard-boiled American stories. If you're new to mystery like me, you might have a long reading list when you finish.
