Abstract
"In a new series, writers pay tribute to fictional detectives on the page and on screen."
Detective fiction is my go-to when I need to wash away the exigencies of everyday life. I’m not alone. Sales and TV viewing figures show the enormous popularity of the form; its benefits have been observed for mental health and well-being, and it provides theorists with the pleasure of analysing social structures, identity and political imperatives through its lens.
