There’s nothing better than a gripping crime fiction novel or film to keep you entertained late into the night. Whether you’re looking for a gentle detective story or cosy crime series, historical crime fiction or true crime based on real-life events, the Learning Curve has the case for you.

We have created another fantastic book list of gripping Crime Novels to put your sleuthing skills to the test.

All of these books can be borrowed from the library using our Click & Collect Service, details of which can be found on here on our website: Library Click and Collect | Barnsley College. You can also visit our Reading Tree for direct links of the books on the catalogue to reserve your copy.

Whodunnit? Pick up a book and find out for yourself….

No genre illustrates the evolution of cinema better than the crime film. Hollywood has regularly released stories of cops-and-robber showdowns and mystery-thrillers based on best-selling novels.

With this in mind, the Learning Curve has put together a list of some of our most gripping Crime Films on DVD, which you can borrow from the library using our Click & Collect Service.

Put your detective skills to the test and catch yourself a great movie!

If you prefer to plug in rather than pick up a book we have you covered!
