Here are my favorite detectives:
1: Sherlock Holmes
2: C. Auguste Dupin
3: Adrian Monk
4: Jules Maigret
5: Father Brown
6: Hercule Poirot
7: Judge Dee
8: Brother Cadfael
9: Charlie Chan
10: Father Matteo
11: Miss Marple( I don't really care for here but I know many who think she is the greatest)
I could go on, most of those I have read at least one book or short story or seen many of the tv adaptations. Yes A very self indulgent list, but honestly isn't the very idea of this website self indulgent? Not that I'm complaining, I love it.
