FEN COUNTRY:
The Detective Fiction of Edmund Crispin
“With Love Lies Bleeding Edmund Crispin establishes himself as our leading exponent of “Third Programme” detection: he is not ashamed to address his readers on the assumption that they are his equals in education and intelligence.”
–
Ralph Partridge,
New Statesman,
– The Times
Edmund Crispin (pseudonym of Bruce Montgomery) was one of the
last writers of detective stories in the classic mould, before
the detective story became the psychological trash thriller.
However, there is no morbid psychology in Crispin's books. There
is only a brilliant sense of humour—both farce and wit, a
highly developed sensitivity to setting, and some highly
ingenious problems. The net result of these attributes: some of
the most delightful mysteries ever written.
