"Raymond Chandler once called murder a
simple art: Maybe so, but detection is a decid-
edly elegant one, elegant in the way a mathe-
matician calls a tidy solution to a t~articularly
kn otty problem elegant. Sherlock Holnles
used logic, Father Brown an abili~fto put
himself in the murderer s skin, Lord Peter a
knack for intuitive bursts of inspiration, Sam
Spade an instinct to distrust his suspects only
so far, Lew Archer a belief that more crimes
can be explained by Freud than Blackstone.
But more central than the methods and man-
nerisms of the great detectives is the fact that
they cut through confusion and chaos, solve
puzzles, and set things right to make the
world seem quite a logical place after all.
They restore order. As for those methods and
mannerisms--there, for the readers of detec-
tive stories, is where the fun lies."
