While the roots of the detective novel go back to the 19th century,
the genre reached its height around 1925 to 1945. This work
presents information on twenty British and American women who wrote
during the 20th century. As a group they were responsible for the
great popularity of the detective novel in the first half of the
century. The British authors are Sora Turnbull (Patricia
Wentworth), Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers, Elizabeth Mackintosh
(Josephine Tey), Gladys Mitchell, Margery Allingham, Edith Pargeter
(Ellis Peters), Phyllis Dorothy James White (P.D. James), Gwendolyn
Butler (Jennie Melville), and Ruth Rendell, and the Americans are
Patricia Highsmith, Carolyn Heilbrun (Amanda Cross), Edna Buchanan,
Kare Gallison, Sue Grafton, Sara Paretsky, Nevada Barr, Patricia
Cornwell, Carol Higgins Clark, and Megan Rust. A flavor of each
author's work is provided.
