It seems to me that Yahoo mail is becoming increasingly
schizophrenic… Adding signs and letters I never typed to my
last messages.
So the different words for crime novel are Polar
(fr) Misdaad roman (dutch)
Hope not to add to the confusion.

I would like to complete what Todd Mason explained about
giallo novels. In fact I do not know much about the films
discussed as a category in that thread, but I can confirm
about Italian giallo as books: the name "giallo" is a generic
name to designate in Italy the detective and crime novels. It
came indeed from the yellow color of the covers of a famous
local imprint having also Gialli Mandador as name (Mandadori
being one of the major Italian publishers; gialli= yellows)
and specialized in this lit. long ago (1929). So, in Italy,
the word giallio** tends to cover any kind of crime novel. In
France it will be "roman policier" that became "polarâ"
during the seventies In Germany they are known as krimis**
For the Dutch: misdaad romanâ. etc
(**)indicating names created by the colloquial language
