Más información sobre el libro

The narrative explores the evolution of the detective character in literature, highlighting how early stories often used detectives merely as tools to resolve mysteries rather than as fully developed characters. Initially introduced as a convenient solution to unravel riddles, the detective's role was later recognized for its potential depth and complexity. This shift reflects a broader understanding of storytelling, where the detective became integral to the narrative rather than just a mechanism for plot resolution.
