From Library Journal:
Leading British mystery writer Keating, creator of Inspector Ghote of the Bombay CID, surveys the history and craft of crime writing. He traces the genre from Poe and cites those examples most worthy of close reading. Sections are devoted to such specialties as detective, police procedural, crime farce, and romantic suspense stories. There are many books on writing crime fiction (e.g., Colloquium on Crime, edited by Robin W. Winks, LJ 5/1/86) that may explain mechanics and technique more fully, but this conveys well the thinking behind an effective entertainment. For mystery readers, too. Recommended. William A. Donovan, Chicago P.L.

Review:
'The author analyses how and why crime fiction works and, if crime is your scene, this is the book for you.' Writing Magazine
