[Jennibeans]

dead men don't wear plaid
the bone collector
kathy reichs novels

 

[4play]

Foyles War (ABC show, set ww2, england, softboiled)

 

[classics_chic]

Hardboiled novels: All of Raymond Chandler's books

Forensic novels: All of Jeffrey Deaver's books (there are two after The Bone Collector, plus another one which is more unrelated)

Patricia Cornwall's books (the Kay Scarpetta series and some others- but don't use the one on Jack The Ripper because it's not fiction)

Children's novels: the Trixie Beldon Series (sorry about spelling, also don't remember the author)

TV: Without a Trace (usually involves crime, but be careful!)
Crossing Jordan (based in forensic areas, but involves solving the crime)

Some other texts that are good to use...seeing as Snow Falling On Cedars has been removed from the list of texts to be studied...it is an excellent text to help demonstrate the closed mystery.

"Moonstone" is a good classic mystery
using mousetrap as a supplementary text can also help with the understanding of what happens in the Real Inspector Hound.

 

[bahodl]

suberting genre:
Murder by Death - directed by Neil Simon
Lord Arthur Savile's Crime - Oscar Wilde

 

[lizzieee_]

Children's novels: the Trixie Beldon Series

serious, you can use trixie belden?? i read all those when i was like 12........ but how do you use em?

 

[400miles]

How can no one have mentioned Blue Heelers?

I'm ashamed... Deeply ashamed.

 

[sK...]

Are all the James Bond series 'Crime fiction'???

 

[_muse_]

if i studied snow falling on cedars in yr 11 but as a romance novel.. can i use it in yr 12 as a crime fiction related text?

also, has anyone heard of the novel the storyman by victor kelleher? just wondering if im the only one out there using it as related material

 

[steffo]

ALL FILMS- all fun to watch and analyse:

who framed roger rabbit
12 monkeys
so, I married an axe murderer
se7en
the usual suspects
ace ventura- pet detective
25th hour
starsky and hutch
silence of the lambs

also:
TV
johnathon creek- always interesting to watch, plot twists, suspense, wit,great characters.

 

[Karlz04]

Film:
Murder By Numbers
Taking Lives
Along Came A Spider
The Secret Window (stretches the genre somewhat)

Nikki French has some good novels, psychological crime fiction. I loved "Beneath the Skin".

 

[taxman]

Realist
Stiff - Shane Maloney
The Brush Off - Shane Maloney

Stiff's probably the better one to use since the Brush Off seems to stray a little bit out of the genre a bit....but they are both good texts to use.

 

[ameh]

Don't forget Wire In The Blood on and Miss Marple on ABC!

btw how would I use Walla Walla by Offspring as suppl material?

 

[ameh]

^*get rid of ''on'' typo

and film: Great Train Robbery

does anyone know any paintings or visual stuff I could use for cf?

 

[bEAbEA]

The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith and Metro Girl by Janet Evanovich are both lighthearted, crime fiction relevent with a female detective.

Midsomer murders are screening at the moment on channel 9.

 

[librarybag]

You could do "Murder, She wrote" The show itself wasn't great, but it goes into feminism, especially since Jessica (Angela Landsbury) was almost 60 when she started the series. Also, its a nice contrast to todays shows. Today, many if not all, crime fiction shows use forensics, whereas Murder, she wrote does not.

 

[PerfectByNature]

Don't forget Wire In The Blood on and Miss Marple on ABC!

btw how would I use Walla Walla by Offspring as suppl material?

Too right! they were really good.i loved Wire in the Blood.

Also Books:
The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown (and his other books.)

Red Dragon, Hannibal and Silence of the Lambs.
Jonathon Kellerman - Billy Straight
