The metaphysical detective story may be defined as a text that raises profound ontological and epistemological questions, and this thesis will elaborate on its characteristics and themes, particularly as those themes relate to the role, definition and use of texts. More specifically, the role of texts and how the use of real events and historical documents alter the ontological and epistemological questions these novels raise are examined. Chapter One examines the different types of texts in Ross King's historical mystery Ex-Libris. Chapter Two analyzes the relationship between literary and historical documents in Margaret Atwood's Alias Grace. Chapter Three, using narrative theories, discusses how the metaphysical detective finds, interprets and uses texts to reconstruct the details of a mystery in Sebastian Japrisot's A Very Long Engagement. Chapter Four examine explores how the body can be a text and the social repercussions of discovering truth in Michael Ondaatje's Anil's Ghost .
