Reviews

In engaging closely with themes and story structure, Shead's is a valuable contribution, to scholarship on crime fiction, and also on Atwood. She crucially draws, out the importance of language too, a close analysis of which is needed for a fuller, appreciation of the experience of reading such novels. - Christiana Gregoriou, University of Leeds, UK
