Good morning/afternoon staff, parents, esteemed guests and of course the year 12 students of Good Shepherd Catholic College. My name is Lili Clewett and I am a Literary Expert for English Explorers here today to provide an overview of Crime Fiction and its history in order to deconstruct the literary genre for your upcoming assessment piece.
