SynopsisMurder Most Fair investigates the appeal of mystery fiction with examples from before Poe to the end of the twentieth century. Mystery fiction and mainstream or serious fiction changes places in many late-twentieth-century works, raising the question whether mystery can continue to appeal. But mystery's conventions are not belief systems or ideologies to be made obsolete; its formulas have resilience and longevity.
