Types of detectives Closed view detective Agatha Christie "Ten Negroes",The plot is based on the investigation of a crime, which was committed in a secluded place, where a strictly limited circle of characters is located. No outsider should be in this place, so that the crime can be committed only by someone present. Additional psychological tension is created by the fact that the criminal must turn out to be one of the well-known people, from those who are nearby and usually do not look like the criminal. Sometimes in a closed-door detective, a whole series of crimes (usually murders) takes place, as a result of which the number of suspects is constantly decreasing.

Detective Fiction. The main plot revolves around political events and competition between different political or business structures. It often happens that the protagonist himself is far from politics, but while investigating the case, he encounters obstacles in solving the crime from the authorities or some kind of rebellion is revealed.

This genre is rarely found in its pure form, but can be an integral part of a work. Types of detectives Political detective Jeffery Deaver is an American writer, journalist, lawyer.

Detective Fiction. Types of detectives A specific detective genre, since the criminal is known and the events are described from his point of view, and not from the people who are looking for him. Criminal detective James Myers Thompson (1906 –1977) was an American prose writer and screenwriter, known for his hardboiled crime fiction. Thompson wrote more than thirty novels, the majority of which were original paperback publications, published from the late-1940s through mid-1950s. A number of Thompson's books were adapted as popular films. Thompson's stories are about grifters, losers, sociopaths and psychopaths—some at the fringe of society, some at its heart—their nihilistic world-view being best-served by first-person narratives revealing a frighteningly deep understanding of the warped mind. There are few good guys in Thompson's literature: most of his characters are abusive or simply biding time until an opportunity presents itself, though many also have decent impulses.
