Abstract:
Crime films–one of the most beloved forms of crime fiction—have a close relationship with society due to their themes and subject matter. Because of this relationship, crime films are able to use their genre-specific elements to include social commentary within their storylines. Using their victims, suspects, and resolutions of the crimes, modern crime fiction pieces such as Rian Johnson’s 2019 film Knives Out and Halina Reijn’s 2022 film Bodies Bodies Bodies both implement larger conversations within their stories. In Knives Out, the audience follows the mystery behind the sudden death of the

Abstract:
This article explores the learning pathways of 15 Canadian and American female crime fiction authors. Using a critical feminist perspective, it argues that despite the neoliberal rhetoric of individual choice, as in most careers, there are social-structural factors that create opportunities and barriers for women mystery writers. The article explores the background factors that shape women’s interest in writing crime fiction, considers the challenges that they face in developing their careers, and looks at the supports that may help them to attain success. Despite challenges, there is often in

It is very often revealed, homicide by poisoning, strangulation, torture, rape, bride burning cases are suppressed to present the crime as suicide burning. Such modus operandi is adopted by perpetrators to conceal the facts and misguide the investigation. In order to investigate burning cases, it is very much essential to visit the undisturbed crime scene to ascertain homicide/suicide burning since many post incident evidence are helpful to distinguish between homicide and suicide burning, further supported by autopsy findings.

Abstract   The present paper is an attempt to analyze the criminal women characters which are represented in the mystery and crime with specific reference in fictional work of the acclaimed British Woman Novelist. Ruth Rendell is known as the second queen of mystery fiction. Rendell uses her mystery literature to illustrate a number of issues. She employs enigma, suspense, crime, and murder in her novels. Even though she was a female novelist, she was just as adept at expressing today's societal themes as male novelists. She often made the Sunday Times bestseller list. Her best-selling bo

Abstract:
Forensic science is a known science popularised by movies and media. It is a broad spectrum of sciences to investigate the situations after getting the facts and to establish what happened through crime reconstruction. Forensic crime scene investigators play a vital role in solving crimes mostly based on non-living physical evidence such as footprints, fingerprints, hairs, fibres etc. Animals have relevance to crime scene investigation without necessarily being the main object of the crime, but associated indirectly, in also other situations. Insect evidence may provide clues when dealing with

Abstract:
Detective fiction is a genre characterized by mystery, reasoning, and intrigue that has captivated readers for centuries. However, the mystery here does not rely on theology but is rooted in logic. Malmgren (1997), in Bloody Murder, defines detective fiction as a hybrid genre encompassing elements of detective crime, psychological analysis, suspense, and police procedural stories. It ensures that the detective's resolution of the crime presented to them does not depend on “divine revelations, feminine intuition, nonsensical ramblings, trickery, coincidence, or acts of God.”

Abstract:
The identity of the person is crucial in any crime scene examination. Identification of the deceased is one of the main goals in forensic medicine. It is imperative to confirm the identity of the deceased person before conducting the autopsy. Finding a deceased person's identification becomes difficult if there are no hints or reference materials that may be compared. Some conventional techniques are available to establish the identity of the person in those cases where reference samples are not available.

Abstract:
Native American Mystery, Crime, and Detective Fiction examines a range of texts, most of them Native-authored, that utilize elements of a popular and accessible literary genre: the mystery, crime, and detective story. The examined texts convey how writers fuse tribally-specific cultural elements with characteristics of mystery, crime, and detective fiction as a way to, as I argue, inform all readers about Native American histories, cultures, and contemporary issues. Exploring how Native American writers approach the genre of mystery, crime, and detective fiction is critical, since it is a sub-

On his release from prison, the former foster child goes in search of his victim’s mother with the intention of murdering her for betraying and abandoning him. The idea for the novel was sparked by events that occurred over 18 years ago, and coincided with the publication of my first novel.

The primary objective of this M.A. thesis is to examine the portrayal of Switzerland and the role of the Swiss detective in the modern Swiss crime novel, with special focus on the works of three modern Swiss authors of different social status: Friedrich Glauser, Friedrich Durrenmatt and Hansjorg Schneider. While the crime novel is generally considered trivial entertainment for mass audiences within the realm of German literature, the case is somewhat different in Switzerland, a country with a small state mentality.

AbstractThis chapter examines lists in the context of dossier novels and uses Charles Warren Adams’s The Notting Hill Mystery (1865) and the Murder Dossier novels (1936–1939) by J.G. Links and Dennis Wheatley as case studies. The chapter shows how the dossier format relies on list-based structures, such as footnotes, tables of contents, suspect profiles, and inventories to involve the reader in tracking and (re-)organizing information. The Murder Dossiers take this trend to the extreme by including game-like features such as material pieces of evidence that readers are asked to physically exam
