The Queen of Crime is far and away the most popular novelist of all time, thanks in fair part to her creation in 1920 of an idiosyncratic Belgian refugee with a penchant for moustache wax and a rather special set of ‘little grey cells’. Fo...

    Like Poirot, police inspector Gereon Rath’s life was upturned by World War I and he spends the post-war years investigating crimes. From there things diverge wildly, in books and on screen. Based on Volker Kutscher’s novels, Babylon Berlin is a lavish neo-noir full of burlesque clubs, booze, pornography rings and political intrigue. Reputedly the m...

    After being stuck in ‘development hell’ for more than a decade, one of the best detective series of modern times finally made it to the screen in early 2015 with the launch of Bosch, based on Michael Connelly’s eponymous character. For fans, it was worth the wait – and we’re now thankful Hollywood didn’t make a two-hour film that never could have d...

Created by brilliant crime writer Megan Abbott, who adapted her own novel, Dare Me delves into the messiness and complexities of teenage life and human relationships. Coa...

    An impressive adaptation that flew under the radar a wee bit when it originally screened on the BBC several years ago, it’s well worth going back and watching this gritty Glasgow mini-series based on Denise Mina’s novels The Field of Blood (season 1) and The Dead Hour (season 2). Set in the early 1980s, the first season begins with young Glasgow Da...

    “It’s an Anglican Father Brown, Inspector Morse with morals, Agatha Christie with cathedrals, or Barbara Pym with sex!” said James Runcie, son of an Archbishop of Canterbury, to me a few years ago as we wandered the historic stone church and bucolic village outside Cambridge where Sidney Chambers juggled parish priesthood and amateur sleuth-ery in ...

    Like the titular best pals scraping and scrapping through life in 1980s East Texas, this show is a bit of an underdog; overlooked but packing an incredible punch. Based on a terrific series of novels from Edgar Award-winning Joe R Lansdale(who has shelves full of major prizes for his horror, Western, fantasy, historical, and mystery stories), it’s ...

Inspector Montalbano (Detective Montalbano when screened in the US) stars Luca Zingaretti as the titular Chief of Police ...

    Named the greatest British crime drama of all time by the Radio Times in 2018 following a public vote, it’s hard to believe this series based on the stories of Colin Dexterfinished its original run 20 years ago (though it has continued in spirit with spin-offs Lewis and Endeavour). Starring John Thaw as the erudite, curmudgeonly sleuth, Inspector M...
