The detective drama could be said to have eaten itself, a truth of this can be found in its ever-increasing ways in searches for a way to be unique, to have the ‘room’ in which the murder occurs be as far from the drawing room mystery of old as possible, and perhaps be almost considered at times to be more concerned with the seemingly unerring device rather than the character of the piece.
