   How does detective genre work?
   

Detective fiction is one of the most popular literary genres, and has been for centuries, but where did the genre come from? Why did mystery, suspense, and crime fiction become such a huge part of literature and popular culture? And how has the detective genre changed in the past 200+ years?
Detective fiction can be traced back to the 1800s, around the time of the Industrial Revolution. Before this time, most people lived in smaller towns and worked and socialized in closer circles, so people knew everyone they came into contact with for the most part. But with the rise of industrial jobs, more people began moving to cities, which lead to interacting with more strangers on a daily basis, a heightened sense of suspicion and uncertainty, and yes, more crime. It was around this time too where police forces were first established. London’s police force came to be in 1829, and New York City got its police force in 1845. With more people living in cities and crime rates on the rise, the setting was right for detective genres to flourish.
The first modern detective story is often thought to be Edgar Allan Poe’s The Murders in the Rue Morgue, a short story published in 1841 that introduced the world to private detective Monsieur C. Auguste Dupin. In fact, detective fiction was so new when Dupin entered the literary world that the word “detective” hadn’t even been used in English before.
The first detective novel followed soon after with British author Wilkie Collins’s The Moonstone. The story was first serialized in Charles Dickens’s journal All the Year Round. And in 1868, it was released as a complete novel. This novel is significant not just because it’s the first detective novel, but also because it established many of the classic tropes and attributes of the detective novel. The Moonstone‘s detective character Sergeant Cuff was based on the real-life detective Inspector Jonathan Whicher, one of the first ever detectives of Scotland Yard.
The detective character who really shaped the way we see literary detectives to this day, however, is probably someone you’ve guessed already: Sherlock Holmes. Not only is he the most famous detective character to ever be written, Sherlock Holmes is one of the most popular characters in fiction ever. Holmes was inspired in part on Poe’s detective Dupin, but he was also based on a real man: Dr. Joseph Bell. Bell was a surgeon and lecturer at the University of Edinburgh. Sherlock Holmes author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle met Dr. Bell in 1877, and Doyle has said he modeled Holmes’s quick wit and intelligence off of Bell. The first Sherlock Holmes novel, A Study in Scarlet came out in 1887, and Doyle continued to write Sherlock Holmes novels and short stories until around 1927.
1920 to 1939 came to be known as the Golden Age of Detective Fiction. And the queen of his age was Agatha Christie. During her lifetime, Agatha Christie wrote sixty-six detective novels and fourteen short story collections. Her novel And Then There Were None remains one of the best-selling books of all time, and as of 2018, the Guinness World Records listed Christie as the best-selling fiction writer of all time. Christie is responsible for creating not one but two of the most famous detectives in literary history: Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. These detective characters remain highly influential to contemporary crime fiction writers.
Christie and other authors from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction have created a legacy of detective novels based on gathering clues and solving crimes as if they were puzzles the reader can solve with the detective. In contemporary literature, this style has evolved into what we now call cozy mysteries. In response to the Golden Age authors, some American writers began to examine and reconsider the formula for detective fiction. Many people started to think of puzzle-solving crime fiction as too unrealistic and too clean. These authors and their readers were looking for crime novels that were more based in reality and the way real crimes happen. And so the hardboiled detective genre was born. These stories included detectives that were dealing with corrupt cops and organized crime. Hardboiled crime novels create a world where it’s every man for himself, and the detective can trust no one.
While hardboiled detective fiction emerged as early as the 1920s, the detective genre really took off in America in the 1930s-1950s. One of the most popular hardboiled detective novels from this period is Raymond Chandler’s The Big Sleep, the novel that introduced readers to the detective Philip Marlowe. This character would go on to feature in many of Chandler’s short stories and novels. And you’ll find many film adaptations featuring this hardboiled detective as well. That leads us to where we are today with fictional detectives in contemporary crime fiction. Now, mystery and suspense fiction is more popular than ever. What that means is that there is room for many types of detective genres answering to readers’ specific tastes and interests. If you’re looking for supernatural detective stories, they’re out there. If you enjoy the realism and grittiness of the hardboiled detective genre, it’s still out there. If you want to revisit familiar and beloved detective characters, there are plenty of newer adaptations of classic detectives. For instance, give Sherry Thomas’s Lady Sherlock series a try. It really is a great time to be a mystery reader²

2 How the modern detective novel was born?

The roots of the modern detective novel can be traced back to Trent’s Last Case, written by E.C. Bentley, and published in 1913. Bentley intended to write an ironic exposure of detective fiction, but the book’s cleverness and lightness of touch meant that readers took it seriously, and it became a wildly successful best-seller. Above all, it influenced a new generation of writers after the First World War.
Two writers whose first books appeared in 1920 led the way in creating the modern detective novel. Agatha Christie’s The Mysterious Affair at Styles introduced Hercule Poirot, and a type of detective story where readers were invited to pit their wits against her sleuth’s. The focus was on the puzzle rather than on in-depth characterization, and on a challenge to the intellect.
Freeman Wills Crofts’ The Cask, a meticulous account of a police investigation into a missing cask that contains a woman’s body parts, sold much more briskly than Christie’s debut at first. Crofts was highly regarded by that passionate fan and occasional critic of detective fiction, T.S. Eliot, and his fetish for accuracy of detail meant that his stories were impressively intricate if not always nerve-racking. He specialised in seemingly unbreakable alibis that could only be cracked by his painstaking cop, Inspector French.
Crofts’ style of writing attracted several disciples, including the prominent left-wing economist G.D.H. Cole, who wrote a long series of mysteries in collaboration with his wife Margaret. Another was Henry Wade, a member of the aristocracy who soon realized that the key to success was to marry a clever plot with credible characterization. Wade was a Justice of the Peace whose understanding of real life police procedure helped him to write police novels that combined authenticity with entertainment. His crowning achievement was The Lonely Magdalen, a superbly constructed mystery about the murder of a prostitute that wasn’t remotely cosy or conventional. Wade’s police story is at least as gripping as any written by that post-war American master, Ed McBain³
Christie’s duels with her readers were in keeping with the times – this was the age of “game fever”, when crossword puzzles were invented, and became massively popular. After all the bloodshed during the war, readers (and authors) wanted to escape. That is why Christie and her contemporaries refused to wallow in gore – they had had their fill of it in real life. Everyone knew someone who had been injured or killed, and several war-wounded former soldiers turned to writing detective fiction in peacetime. Wade was one, Milward Kennedy and John Rhode were among the others. Golden Age novels reflected the times during which they were written. Inevitably, many of the attitudes on display are different from those of the twenty-first century. One of these representatives of modern detective genre is Kate Atkinson.

3. Kate Atkinson as a writer of modern detective fiction

Kate Atkinson was born December 20, 1951, York, England, British short-story writer, playwright, and novelist whose works were known for their complicated plots, experimental form, and often eccentric characters. Atkinson received her early education at a private preparatory school and later the Queen Anne Grammar School for Girls in York. An avid reader from childhood, she studied English literature at the University of Dundee, where she earned a master’s degree in 1974. She remained at Dundee to study postmodern American fiction for a doctorate. Though she was denied the degree, her studies of the postmodern stylistic elements of American writers such as Kurt Vonnegut influenced her later work.
Throughout the late 1970s and for much of the ’80s, Atkinson held various jobs, few of which enabled her to make use of her literary interests. In 1981–82, however, she took up short-story writing, finding the brief narrative form an effective outlet for her creative energy. Later that decade, her short story “In China” won a competition sponsored by Woman’s Own magazine.⁴ The prize inspired her to write fiction for other publications, including Good Housekeeping and the Daily Mail. In 1993 her short story “Karmic Mothers—Fact or Fiction?,” about two women hospitalized for their suicide attempts and recovering next to a maternity unit, won the Ian St. James Award; the story was adapted for television in 1997.
Atkinson’s first novel was the tragicomedy Behind the Scenes at the Museum which evolved from a series of previously written short stories. The novel centers on Ruby Lennox, whose narrative of self-discovery ultimately becomes the story of her family’s survival through two world wars. Atkinson interspersed the text with “footnotes”—chapter-long asides by family members, whose flashbacks reveal dark secrets hidden beneath the family facade. The work won the 1995 Book of the Year and First Novel Whitbread Book Awards later renamed the Costa Book Awards.
In her second novel, Human Croquet , Atkinson employed non-chronological flashbacks and magic realism to bring a mythical quality to the main character, Isobel Fairfax, and her family’s past. Atkinson’s inclination to experiment with literary device featured prominently in her next novel, Emotionally Weird, in which she assigned different fonts to certain characters and settings. The same year as that book’s publication, Atkinson’s first full-length play, Abandonment, premiered at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh. She subsequently began writing a series of crime thrillers that featured private investigator Jackson Brodie. Case Histories the first book in the series, made the short list for a Whitbread Book Award and later lent its name to the series adaptation for television, where the role of Brodie was played by British actor Jason Isaacs. Other books in the series included One Good Turn, When Will There Be Good News, Started Early, Took My Dog, and Big Sky.
Among Atkinson’s later critically acclaimed works was Life After Life a novel in which the protagonist, Ursula Todd, repeatedly dies and is reborn in the year 1910. In each new life, Ursula is confronted by different choices and situations that have the potential to alter the course of history. The novel was an unusual blend of science fiction and drama and was noted for its insightful portrayal of human nature. It was short-listed for the 2013 Women’s Prize for Fiction and was awarded the 2013 Costa Book Award for best novel. A God in Ruins traces the life of RAF pilot Teddy Todd, Ursula’s brother, though it dispenses with the latter’s rebirths, instead taking a more starkly realistic approach to the narrative. In Transcription a woman must confront her past as a worker at MI5 during World War II, fiction, literature created from the imagination, not presented as fact, though it may be based on a true story or situation. Types of literature in the fiction genre include the novel, short story, and novella. The word is from the Latin “the act of making, fashioning, or molding.” Kate Atkinson was born in York in 1951 and studied English Literature at Dundee University. After graduating in 1974, she researched a postgraduate doctorate on American Literature. She later taught at Dundee and began writing short stories in 1981. She began writing for women's magazines after winning the 1986 Woman's Own Short Story Competition. She was runner-up for the Bridport Short Story Prize in 1990 and won an Ian St James Award in 1993 for her short-story Karmic Mothers, which she later adapted for BBC2 television as part of its 'Tartan Shorts' series.
Her first novel, Behind the Scenes at the Museum won the 1995 Whitbread Book of the Year award, beating Salman Rushdie's The Moor's Last Sigh and Roy Jenkins' biography Gladstone. The book is set in Yorkshire, narrated by Ruby Lennox, who takes the reader through the complex history of her family, covering the events of the twentieth century and reaching back into the past to uncover the lives of distant ancestors. The book has been adapted for radio and theatre, and has been adapted for television by the author. Her second novel, Human Croquet, was published in 1997 and relates the story of another family, the Fairfaxes, through flashback and historical narrative. Her third novel, Emotionally Weird, was published in 2000, and in 2002 a collection of short stories, Not the End of the World.
Kate Atkinson has written two plays for the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh: a short play, Nice and Abandonment, which premiered as part of the Edinburgh Festival in August 2000. She currently lives in Edinburgh and is an occasional contributor to newspapers and magazines. The four books Case Histories, One Good Turn shortlisted for the British Book Awards Crime Thriller of the Year, When Will There be Good News? and Started Early, Took My Dog form a crime series featuring ex-policeman Jackson Brodie. These books were adapted for television and a 6-part series starring Jason Isaacs as Jackson Brodie was broadcast in 2011. In 2013 she published Life after Life, winner of the Costa Novel Award and the South Bank Sky Arts Literature Prize; and A God in Ruins, a companion novel to Life After Life, featuring several of the same characters. In 2019 Jackson Brodie returned in Big Sky, and Atkinson also published Transcription. Michael K. Atkinson is an American attorney.

Her first novel, Behind the Scenes at the Museum (1995), won the 1995 Whitbread (now Costa) Book of the Year award. Set in Yorkshire, the book has been adapted for radio, theater and TV.⁵ This was followed by Human Croquet (1977), Abandonment (2000), Emotionally Weird (2000), Not the End of the World (2002), Case Histories (2004), One Good Turn (2006) and When Will There Be Good News (2008). The last three all feature former private detective Jackson Brodie. She has written two plays for the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh: Nice (1996), and Abandonment, which premiered as part of the Edinburgh Festival in August 2000. She currently lives in Edinburgh and is an occasional contributor to newspapers and magazines.
She was appointed MBE in the 2011 Queen's Birthday Honor’s List, and was voted Waterstones UK Author of the Year at the 2013 Spec savers National Book Awards. Whatever genre Atkinson writes in, her books tend to touch on the themes of love and loss, and how to carry on, always presented with a astuteness and wicked sense of humor. Her books tend to be populated by odd, sometimes amoral, and generally dysfunctional misfits who become credible by dint of being so fully rendered. Her books have frequently been described as comedies of manners; that is to say a comedy that represents the complex and sophisticated code of behavior current in fashionable circles of society, where appearances count for more than true moral character. A comedy of manners tends to reward its clever and unscrupulous characters rather than punish their immorality. The humor of a comedy of manners relies on verbal wit and repartee. This form of writing flourished in England with authors such as Jane Austen, Samuel Coleridge, Oscar Wilde and Noel Coward.
After nearly 10 years, Kate Atkinson’s much-loved detective Jackson Brodie returns in her 12th novel Big Sky. “The best mystery of the decade”, Stephen King wrote of Case Histories, Brodie’s first appearance back in 2004, but it looked as if he might have been retired for ever after his fourth outing in 2010. “Brodie did have a really long holiday,” the author says. During which time, Atkinson won the Costa best novel award twice, for her historical novels Life After Life and A God in Ruins, and wrote last year’s Transcription. But she always intended to bring him back, or she would have killed him off, “just to put that to bed”.
Big Sky started as a screenplay about a female detective, and was originally written for the actor and comedian Victoria Wood, who had appeared in one of the BBC’s Brodie adaptations starring Jason Isaacs. Wood did not see the manuscript before her death in 2016 so Atkinson put it aside, before eventually deciding it would work for Brodie, partly because it is set in Yorkshire, where the detective, like his creator, grew up. The idea for the story began with another Yorkshireman, Jimmy Savile, who had a home in Scarborough, with a plaque – now removed – that read “Savile’s View” on the railings overlooking the bay. Although the DJ and TV presenter doesn’t feature in Big Sky directly, he casts a shadow over a sinister web of storylines that connects child abuse rings in the 1970s and 80s to present-day.

The crime series “Jackson Brodie” is about a private investigator named Jackson Brodie . A former soldier and policeman, Jackson Brodie is now his own boss. Hiding a deeply empathetic heart under his tough-guy exterior, he is now a detective who is mostly investigating infidelity and finding missing cats.
