About this listen
Part 2 of a special three-part series exploring the core of UK crime fiction in the turbulent, transformative 1970s. The 70s in the UK were a time of economic struggles, political unrest, and cultural shifts. The crime fiction from this decade, and the ones that followed, not only entertain but also serve as a mirror and a critique of these transformations, making it a significant and thought-provoking genre.
In Part 2, Math delves into some UK crime novels that defined 1970s Britain. He explores seminal works that were not only published during this decade but also encapsulated the essence of the times. From gritty noir and urban realism to police procedurals and detective stories, these novels did more than entertain; they reflected and critiqued the political, social, and cultural atmosphere of 1970s Britain.
