Almost as intriguing as the puzzle encountered and decoded by Dupin in ‘The Murders in the Rue Morgue’ is the mystery of why Poe composed such a story in the first place. The plot is legendary. Dupin, a well-educated Parisian with we assume a private income, and his unnamed companion who narrates the piece, take an interest in the recent murder of two women whose bodies are discovered in an apartment which is locked from the inside.

一些人名翻译和通识不一样。犯罪小说的范围比推理小说要广泛，包括犯罪、公案、间谍、推理、硬汉、律政、惊悚等等范畴。作者从时间，流派，国别等方面粗略介绍了各国犯罪小说的情形，而且更强调西方的书写。而且探讨了犯罪小说中女性的角色，很到位，以及犯罪小说是否算作纯文学或严肃文学？ 只是女性只有去女性化才可以被接受的文学创作现实。 不过最有趣的是现代犯罪小说竟然列举的朔爷。哈哈

以“犯罪”为主轴的欧美侦探小说（或者说犯罪小说）及延伸类型概论，带点拉美和东亚（虽然十分幽默）。对于习惯以“推理”为核心元素和以日本体系为框架的人（比如我），本书的视角很有必要。 机翻不行
