    　　Detective stories are popular everywhere, and some of the world's best-telling writers have written detective stories．They have also often been women．The stories of Agatha Christie, for example, have been translated into most languages, and so have those of Ruth Rendell．

    　　Some people think that the Sherlock Holmes stories, created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, were the first detective stories ever written．In fact, the first such story was published much earlier than the first Sherlock Holmes story, in 1841．It was written by the American writer Edgar Allan Poe and called The Murders in the Rue Morgue．The fictional detective was a Frenchman, Auguste Dupin, and the story was set in France．This was because at that time only in France were there such people as private detectives．

    　　The first detective novel－long story－was not published until 1856．It was called Recollections of a Detective Police Officer by Waters．Although it pretended to be a true life story of a real police officer called‘Waters’, it was wholly fiction and was written by William Russell．

    　　The first fictional detective to appear in a novel－though the novel itself was not a detective story－was Inspector Bucket in Charles Dicken's novel, Bleak House．The first detective novel to be written by a writer who was already famous for other kinds of novel writhing was The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins．The detective in this novel was called Sergeant Cuff and was based on a well-known real life detective of the time, Superintendent Foley．

    　　Wilkie Collins also created the first woman detective in his novel, No Name, though she was not an important character in the book．The first detective novel to have a female detective as the main character was The Recollections of a Lady Detective by Anon．The word‘Anon’is short for‘anonymous’which means‘unnamed’, so we do not know who wrote this noel．

    　　The first really successful female writer of detective fiction was an American, Anna Katherine Green．By the time she died in 1935, she had written over 30 detective novels．Sadly, no one reads her works today and she is almost wholly forgotten．
