Detective literature undertakes the duty of providing a serious legitimacy for philosophical and religious ideas under the influence of patriarchal ideology. Like monotheistic religions, detective fiction provides readers with a sense of reassurance derived from the reestablishment of order and resistance to chaos. The deified detective, who determines morality and takes on the guardianship of justice, fights for the salvation of society with the criminal who takes the place of the theological devil and highlights the gender stereotypes that work against women. The similarities between detective fiction and monotheistic religions are emphasized in Şebnem Şenyener's Kalbim Çırılçıplak trilogy titled Dansözün Ölümü, Karakter Taciri, Ölümün Şarkısı Özgürdür, and these similarities are deconstructed with parody and ironic strategies. This trilogy makes the cooperation between detective fiction and religion visible with its postmodern fiction. The writer who wants to transform the hegemonic and sexist structure produced by the sacred texts; undermines the detective's authority with unresolved closures; discusses the redemptive nature of God and religion through the unstable social structure; transforms the meanings attributed to concepts and facts such as morality, justice, order, death, punishment, good and bad.
