Enlightenment to contemporary German literature and television via a
focus on crime and detection genres. The Krimi is one of the most
popular genres in contemporary Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

desire to uncover hidden truths. The fascination with crime and the
thrill of detection inform classical detective novels as well as
psychoanalytical case studies.
