Classic and Golden Age Detective Fiction

[@haridas786]

Josephine Tey also started in thirties ...Infact the man in the queue was published in 1929.. Also , perhaps Nicholas Blake's Nigel Strangeways deserved a few seconds ,,,

Raise a glass to Josephine Tey☕️One of the early queens of detective fiction.

I'm a fan of early detective fiction as well. I beg to differ, however, about Conan Doyles books. I don't find them boring, I find them fascinating. The back stories fill out what otherwise would be flimsy plots; plus, it's like getting two books in one! Really worth the time IMHO. Plus, I ADORE Christie's Tommy and Tuppence - light hearted innocence true to the post WWI ethos. A true Historical Mystery unlike the ersatz period erotica that goes by that title today.

I thought the G in Ngaio Marsh was silent.

Good vid! Have you heard of Trent's Last Case ? It's controverisal but influential book fro m1913 and one of the first ot break the Sherlock Holmes archetype.

emile gaborau in The murder if widow Lerouge in 1866 predates Doyle and was mureder mystery. Tabaret and later Le Coq are amazing characters. Lectures do not usually include this inc those from Oxbridge. Rethink re evaluate and duscover what has already hapenec irrespective of mainstream populist stuff Steve Allen
