In "Der Kommissar", author Herbert Reinecker neatly captures the zeitgeist of the late 1960s and early 1970s by presenting many young characters that are involved in a crime. These young people usually wear trendy clothes and listen to the songs from the hit parade, be it at home or in seedy pubs, night clubs, or discotheques. In Reinecker's world, a young girl who leaves her parents and moves from the country to the anonymous and evil big city—Munich—will necessarily end up as either a prostitute, or a drug addict, or a murder victim, or all of the above. Also, at a time of shifting moral standards in the wake of the Sexual Revolution, Keller can only shake his head—only inwardly though—at the follies of middle-aged bourgeois people who think they can practise what today would be called a polyamorous relationship and get away with it unscathed.

Both are named after the author, rather than the main character(s). This led to screenwriter Berend Boudewijn's bitter statement in a Dutch TV guide ("VPRO Gids", 11 November 2005) that ""Baantjer" is the only TV series in the world that is named after a writer, even though it is not written by him." (This is not entirely true: The Belgian TV series "Aspe" is also named after its writer, Pieter Aspe, who wrote the first season but not the second.)

It contrasts a pair of German sisters and is a tale of skilful suspense with a happy dénouement. "Quits" (London, 1857; in German, Leipzig, 1863) concerns how the life of the mind may protect someone from frivolous society. It devotes 60 pages in three chapters to the Oberammergau Passion Play performance of 1850. "Cyrilla" (1853 in German, Leipzig, 1854) is founded on the true-life murder trial of Assessor Zahn. The last novel, "At Odds" (1863), suffered in the author's view from being written in a period of prolonged ill-health. A more recent account of Baroness von Tautphoeus states that her novels point to a person of conservative tastes, very well read in English, German and French.

Horowitz began writing for television in the 1980s, contributing to the children's anthology series "Dramarama", and also writing for the popular fantasy series "Robin of Sherwood". His association with murder mysteries began with the adaptation of several Hercule Poirot stories for ITV's popular "Agatha Christie's Poirot" series during the 1990s. Often his work has a comic edge, such as with the comic murder anthology "Murder Most Horrid" (BBC Two, 1991) and the comedy-drama "The Last Englishman" (1995), starring Jim Broadbent. From 1997, he wrote the majority of the episodes in the early series of "Midsomer Murders". In 2001, he created a drama anthology series of his own for the BBC, "Murder in Mind", an occasional series which deals with a different set of characters and a different murder every one-hour episode.

Jacqueline Susann enjoyed the fame which her books brought. "Confrontational, sassy, [and] entertaining," she appeared frequently on television, especially on talk shows. When asked what Ethel Merman thought of "Valley of the Dolls", Susann responded, "We didn't speak before the book came out. Let's just say that now we're not speaking louder." Referring to Philip Roth and his best-selling novel "Portnoy's Complaint", notorious for its graphic descriptions of masturbation, she said to Johnny Carson, "Philip Roth is a good writer, but I wouldn't want to shake hands with him." Not everyone was a fan. Gore Vidal said, "She doesn't write, she types." In July 1969, Truman Capote appeared on "The Tonight Show" and announced that Susann looked "like a truck driver in drag." On Susann's next visit to the show, Johnny Carson, gave her a chance to respond to Capote by asking, "What do you think of Truman?" Susann quipped, "I think history will prove he's one of the best presidents we've had."
