Detectives in Other Cultures

Arthur Upfield was a famous novelist in Australia. His novels which include The House of Cain and The Barakee Mystery generally focus on the details of crimes. The novels work on perfecting crime and crime solving. His books are said to be like puzzles, just when you think you have all the pieces fitting together, they don't. His works are said to be appealing to people of all cultures because they are so puzzling and do not follow familiar detective patterns. I think it would be interesting to read one of his novels for this reason.

Luiz Alfredo Garcia Roza is a crime writer from Rio de Janeiro. His most popular series is that of Inspector Espinosa Mystery. In this series, he causes the reader to question morals, values and judgment. Apparently, his writings leave the reader questioning what really happened in the situation. The answer to who committed the crimes is not straight forward, or may not be given at all in some cases. His novels are complex and have many aspects to them that may be challenging for the reader to follow and understand.
