Sue Turnbull is Senior Professor of Communication and Media at the University of Wollongong.
The depth of research is exemplary of the kind of deep analysis
that helps show the inner workings of the genre, which, while also
leavened with personal experiences, provides a well-rounded and
accessible text.
*New Review of Film and Television Studies*
Sue Turnbull’s genealogy of television crime dramas is an examplar
of how to write about not only television programs, but the content
of entertainment more generally. Textually engaged but not
textually deterministic, informed and passionate, this is a book
written by someone who knows, loves and understands television
crime series. Buy it – or steal it – now.
*Professor Alan McKee, Research Leader, School of Media,
Entertainment and Creative Arts, QUT*
