For fans of historical crime fiction and crimewriters of the past and present, this group is linked to the www.Criminal-History.co.uk web site. Anyone is welcome to discuss their favourite authors or historical settings, with a vague boundary of the outbreak of World War II. This includes modern work set in past times, as well as 'classic' authors.

Prefer Agatha Christie to Dorothy L. Sayers? Have you found crime fiction set in Ancient Rome hard to digest? Do you have any recommendations to share with other readers of whodunits and mysteries set in our past?
