One well - known Portuguese crime novel is 'The Maias' by Eça de Queirós. It delves into the lives of the upper - class in 19th - century Portugal with elements of mystery and intrigue.
Portuguese crime fiction often has a strong sense of place. The settings, like the narrow streets of Lisbon or the coastal areas, play a big role.
