whodunit

A whodunit or whodunnit (a colloquial elision of "Who [has] done it?" or "Who did it?") is a complex, plot-driven variety of the detective story in which the audience is given the opportunity to engage in the same process of deduction as the protagonist throughout the investigation of a crime. The reader or viewer is provided with the clues from which the identity of the perpetrator may be deduced before the story provides the revelation itself at its climax.

Bookreview: The pilgrim of hate

"The pilgrim of hate" is yet another fantastic middle age whodunit by Ellis Peters. The book starts a bit dull. The first 3-4 chapters are actually boring.

Bookreview: Dissolution

Historical fiction has a tendency to feel a little half done and dull. C. J. Sansom however is the living proof that it's possible to write amazingly good historical fiction.

Bookreview: Sovereign

Sansom has done it yet again. The third book about "Shardlake", a British lawyer in the fifteen hundreds with high contacts, is just as good as the previous two.

Bookreview: Dark fire

After the fantastic experience of "Dissolution" my first thought was that the follow-up "Dark Fire" couldn't possibly be better. Just goes to show how wrong you can be.
