Reviews

'Impressive in its span, this lively, authoritative and interesting analysis of crime fiction devoted to the Second World War and Occupation in French is a valuable addition to the critical literature.' Margaret Atack, University of Leeds, UK 'This is a nuanced and valuable text advocating a much-needed epistemological vigilance in relation to the constitution of crime fiction as a category, and the diachronically and synchronically shifting resonances of the Occupation in literature.' French Studies 'Given the extent of the corpus it is not surprising that Hutton's findings result in a rich and thought-provoking discussion not just of the post-war era but of the nature of crime fiction itself.' New Zealand Journal of French Studies 'The book is impressive in the range of texts considered, is engagingly written and offers an important contribution to the study of recent French crime fiction.' Forum for Modern Language Studies
