Show transcript
Potentially, crime fiction is a popular genre because people want to explore the darkness without experiencing it. Stereotypically, crime fiction is resolved by the crime being solved and the criminal facing justice. While the criminal is apprehended in his story, Horowitz subverts the genre by having another criminal capture him. Arguably, Horowitz creates a reassuring resolution through the use of setting, light imagery and symbolism.
