Killing Carmens: Women's Crime Fiction from Spain is the first comprehensive study of female engagement with the detective genre in Castilian and Catalan, and offers a new approach to Spanish crime writing by combining literary criticism with sociological and criminological theory. This multidisciplinary work reveals how female authors use crime and detective narratives to analyse the role and position of their countrywomen.
