Example sentence(s):
  • Verdens første detektivroman ble skrevet på Kongsberg - 3600.no  
  • Skrev verdens første detektivroman - adressa.no  
  • De første kriminalfortellingene ble skrevet på 1800-tallet, og fra den tidlige tradisjonelle detektivromanen har det utviklet seg nye sjangre, som den hardkokte kriminalromanen, prosedyre- og politiromanen, spion- og agentromanen og thrilleren - senjavgsbiblioteket.wordpress.com
