Kelly Oliver’s Detection Club series takes its name and inspiration from the real Detection Club, a London-based organization of mystery writers founded in 1930. The Case of the Christie Conspiracy and The Case of the Body on the Orient Express, both published in 2025, use this literary history as a backdrop for fictional mysteries.
The series adds another historical period to Oliver’s mystery fiction, which already spans World War I (Fiona Figg) and the contemporary academy (Jessica James). The golden age of detective fiction provides rich material for a mystery writer, and Oliver’s academic background in literary analysis likely informs her approach to this era.
