I.2 Best crime-solving writers in fiction
The crime-solving writer is one of the most (deservingly!) beloved tropes in all of crime fiction—literature, film and television alike. After all, crime-solving offers a thrilling, high-stakes fantasy outlet for the kind of dogged research, fact-checking, and discovery-making at which writers excel. Plus, everyone seems to think that writers have endless free time during the day to do things like take long, boozy lunches with friends or spend a lot of time dwelling on romances and solve murders which baffle the police.
But the writer-detective also embodies a pleasurable collapsing of the key enjoyments of crime fiction itself; the idea that the writer behind a crime novel might be basing the story on a real-life feat offers a very compelling sensation that these exploits might not actually be so far-fetched. It’s not just escapism, it’s also familiarity. Being a writer is seen, perhaps, as the closest thing to actually being on an adventure—it’s a more theoretically accessible fantasy than wishing to be a detective story protagonist, but potentially just as exciting. It also adds a clever, meta-level to the stories, allowing for explicit focuses on process and plotting. Another thing—writers, especially if they are writing the stories they are in, always live to tell their tales.
So, for your pleasure, we have ranked the nineteen best detective-writers that have graced pages and screens (big and small).

19. Phil Blackwood
Appearance: Her Alibi, 1989 [film]
Profile: Poor Phil Blackwood will always be last on our qualitative lists about writers. A detective novelist (Tom Selleck) with writer’s block who visits courthouses to try to find inspiration, he meets and offers to be the alibi for a beautiful young Romanian woman who is on trial for murder. She becomes his muse, but as he writes about her, he discovers that maybe she’s not so innocent. He’s a bad detective… but an even worse writer? He only writes in capital letters, things like: “They kissed. She nearly passed out from the rapture of the moment… but Swift, familiar with this reaction from past encounters, gathered her in his arms as her body went limp, and carried her into his bedroom.”
