Detective stories are popular everywhere and some of the world’s best-selling writers, such as Agatha Christie and Ruth Rendell, have written detective stories.
Some people think that the Sherlock Holmes stories, created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, were the first detective stories ever written. In fact, the first detective story was published in 1841—much earlier than the first Sherlock Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet, which was published in 1887. The first detective story was written by the American writer Edgar Allan Poe and was called The Murders in the Rue Morgue. Poe’s fictional detective was Auguste Dupin and the story was set in France. It was set in France because at the time this was the only country that had private detectives.
The first full-length detective novel was not published until 1856. It was called Recollections of a Detective Police officer by Waters. Although it pretended to be the true story of a real police officer named Waters, it was wholly fictional and was written by William Russell. The first fictional detective to appear in a novel—though the novel itself was not a detective story—was Inspector Bucket in Charles Dickens’s novel Bleak House. The first detective novel by a writer who was already famous for other genres was The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins. The detective in this novel was named Sergeant Cuff and he was based on a well-known-real-life detective of the time, Superintendent Foley. Wilkie Collins also created the first female detective in his novel No Name, though she was not all important character in the book.
The first really successful female writer of detective fiction was American Anna Katherine Green. By the time she died in 1935, she had written more than thirty detective novels. Sadly, no one reads her work today and she is almost completely forgotten.
