I have a weird question, I wonder if anyone knows the answer.

Were successful detectives ever actually famous? Was there ever a time when they would've been recognised as a great detective by ordinary folk?

Or is this a concept wholly invented for detective fiction (presumably by Conan Doyle)?

I'm writing a critique of S. S. Van Dine’s - Twenty Rules for Writing Detective Stories for a course I'm doing. Apart from the usual "rules are made to be broken", does anyone have any thoughts about them? If you're not familiar, they can be found here: mysteryfictions.web.unc.edu/20

One of the things I used The Bird Site for was keeping my running list of . It took a little while, but I’ve finally migrated it blog-wise. graciado.com/books-of-2022/
I’m only reviewing at the moment, but there’s plenty of that to go around, including some mid-century classics that were New To Me!

Discussion between theologian David Bentley Hart and novelist Tariq Goddard (my editor, lovely man) partly on his new occult detective novel High John the Conqueror, but also on using writing to explore alternate selves, the creativity of dream states, the infinite and eternal and lots of fun stuff

Hi, new to Mastodon but not a Twitter migrant since I wasn't there in any real way. 😆 I am hopeful that the Twitter migration will bring enough people to Mastodon that I can wean myself from toxic Zuck-owned platforms.
