Rezensionen

"The Language of Suspense is certainly characterised by vastness and richness in terms of analytical tools, bibliographical references and primary texts. ... the theories and considerations systematically presented, employed and proposed by Dutta-Flanders constitute a valuable aid to tackle crime discourse, and gain insights into the effects generated by specific rhetorical devices and textual patterns." (Esterino Adami, Altre Modernità, Issue 21, May, 2019)
"This book makes an extremely valuable contribution to the stylistic and narratological analysis of crime fiction, and serves as a valuable companion work for fans of the genre." (Jia Xiaoqing, Style, Vol. 52 (4), 2018)
