Reviews

Readable, stimulating and informative, this is a book that celebrates great Irish writing, much of which has never before been the subject of such in-depth scholarly attention. Offering 17 chapters on a huge variety of topics, the collection shows definitively that crime fiction has become one of Ireland's most vital, creative and transformative modes of contemporary writing.--Patrick Lonergan, NUI, Galway

Offering 17 chapters on a huge variety of topics, the collection shows definitively that crime fiction has become one of Ireland's most vital, creative and transformative modes of contemporary writing.--Patrick Lonergan, NUI, Galway Guilt Rules All explores the robust body of crime fiction produced in the Republic and Northern Ireland across decades. It offers important new perspectives with its attention to women writers, its impressive array of authors and texts, and its sophisticated readings that enrich our understanding not only of Irish crime fiction, but also of Irish writing more generally.--Paige Reynolds, author of Modernism, Drama, and the Audience for Irish Spectacle Guilt Rules All does an outstanding job of conveying the breadth of the genre that encompasses mystery, detective and crime fiction. An eclectic set of contributors--writers, scholars and aficionados-- examine overarching themes in fresh and innovative ways.--Miriam Nyhan Grey, New York University
