Description:
Since
the inception of the detective short story with Edgar Allan Poe, various
plotlines and common elements have become prevalent in the genre. Murderous
Schemes: An Anthology of Classic Detective Stories categorizes thirty-two
suspenseful tales by formula, a unique and exceptional arrangement that
illustrates how the detective story has evolved. Just as the “standards” of
jazz become reinterpreted by new performers, basic story structures develop new
and alluring twists in the hands of some of the best-known writers of detective
fiction. From “I Confess!” to “The Armchair Detective” to “Over the Edge,” each
variation on the theme will be fascinating reading for every fan of the genre.
