A Torso in Albion Falls: The Power of Setting in Crime Literature
In Evelyn, Robert Antrim Calwell doesn’t just recount a murder—he anchors it in a deeply atmospheric geography. The book begins, not with motive or character, but with a hike up Hamilton’s escarpment and the discovery of a torso below Mountain Brow Boulevard. By doing so, Calwell affirms a key principle of crime literature: setting is never just background. In the world of Evelyn, place shapes plot, and landscape carries as much weight as evidence.
