The Reader and the Detective Story is uniqueit treats the detective story as a special case of reading, governed by special rules and shaped by a highly specialized formula. The method of interpretation is the application of the principles of response theory (especially those developed by HansGeorg Gadamer, Wolfgang Iser, and Hans Robert Jauss) to the reading of a tale of detection.George Dove demonstrates how the English softboiled mystery and the American privateeye story, although they have different settings and develop different plots, belong in the same subgenre and follow the same formula, inherited directly from Poes The Murders in the Rue Morgue.
