This is the first book to offer a critical analysis of one variant of the mystery story or novel-the use of a physician as the major detective. There is little difference between a medical "case study" and a mystery story. The book reviews the works of major authors, from R. Austin Freeman, Helen Mc Cloy, Josephine Bell, and H.C. Bailey, to Patricia Cornwell, Kathy Reichs, Aaron Elkins, and Colin Cotterill, with briefer reviews of minor authors. It also addresses historical (fictional) physician detectives, psychological detectives, and physician detective nonfiction.Physicians and health workers are avid readers of detective fiction and will welcome this volume, which addresses their specific interests. Its critical analysis of books that have long been viewed as central to detective fiction will also appeal to fans of the mystery story.
