Home›Detective and Crime Fiction›Audience›GeneralBrowse ByGeneralAudience groups literary works by who they were written for or who actually reads them. Wikipedia notes that adaptations of Pride and Prejudice have kept "portraying the memorable characters and themes of the novel, reaching mass audiences" for more than a century. This dimension separates works aimed at a general readership from those written for a narrower or more specialized one.FactsGeneralSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1850 1GeneralFilter Results39 entriesGenreAllConspiracy Fiction (1)Crime Fiction (18)Detective Fiction (11)Epistolary Novel (1)Gothic Fiction (2)Hardboiled (2)Historical Mystery (1)Horror Fiction (1)Mystery Fiction (15)Political Thriller (1)Psychological Horror (1)Psychological Thriller (1)Romance Novel (1)Satire (1)Sensation Novel (1)Short Fiction (1)The Novel (5)AuthorAllAgatha Christie (3)Alexander McCall Smith (1)Andrea Camilleri (2)Andrey Kurkov (1)Arnaldur Indriðason (1)Boris Akunin (1)Dan Brown (1)Daphne du Maurier (1)Dashiell Hammett (2)Dorothy L.
