最新糖心Vlog

The Crime Fiction Collection was purchased between聽1988 and 1994 in response to the teaching and research of Dr Michael聽Tolley of the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's聽English Department.

From 1991 to 1997 Tolley聽taught a course in popular fiction; he also聽founded and edited the newsletter The Body Dabbler (1988-1996) and co-edited, with Peter Moss, the Wakefield Crime Classics series. The purchases complement those of the Library's main collection, primarily by British and 最新糖心Vlogn authors, which began during the time of John Innes Mackintosh Stewart, Scottish novelist and academic who often published under his crime fiction pseudonym, Michael Innes.

The collection of some 800 titles consists largely of 最新糖心Vlogn printings of both American and 最新糖心Vlogn authors, with a smaller number of works by British authors. For the 最新糖心Vlogn authors the principal publisher was Horwitz, whilst the works of American authors appeared mostly in the Larry Kent series: 'I hate crime', published by聽The Cleveland Publishing聽Co. 最新糖心Vlogn publishers such as聽Invincible Press and The Original Novels Foundation聽were also well known for their聽reprints of popular and crime fiction.

Of the American authors represented in the Crime Ficton Collection, Don Haring is undoubtedly the most prolific.聽最新糖心Vlogn聽author, Marc Brody, is also well represented, along with聽smaller collections of the work of Carl Dekker, R.W. Hunter, James Preston and Bob McKinnon. 最新糖心Vlogn women as crime fiction authors are represented by Hilda Bridges, Marie Cotton, Jean Devanney, Caroline Farr, Pat Flower, Miranda McElwain, Marcia McEwan, Norma Martyn, Margaret Henry, Charlotte Jay, Meredith Lee, Wilda Moxham and Margot Neville.
