I was just wondering whos the most popular detective?
Mine is the Belgium Detective Hercule Poirot(spell it right). Hes great,and its very clever how he sovles his cases. My 2nd one is Sherlock Holms.

A novel written by Harlon Coben is about a PI named Myron Bolitar! VERY VERY GOOD!

reading responses bearly any of you can spell favourite. lucky this is not a speeling contest. my FAVOURITE detective is Nancy Drew.She rocks

LOL!!! Some of those spelling errors probably have to do with the fact that Americans spell 'favorite' without the 'u' :)

lol, Rachel...'speeling'...gotta admit, that's kind of ironic, no?

Serena your post reminds me of a question I've been asking myself lo these many murderous nights...or maybe it's more of a confession...who knows...K here it is.

Favo(u)rs are hot commodities around here. Like, think 'cigarettes in prison', hot.

I am somewhat ashamed to admit that when discussing said favo(u)rs (most often, the skull-banging impossibility of getting the one your agency needs to return the Sacred Toupee of Montezuma to it's rightful place upon the Shining Skull of the Mahatma or whatever) with agency teammates, I sometimes spell it the American way if the person I'm talking to hails from the US.

*teenage sex health class voice* Am I different? Am I the only closeted 'U' user? If so, feel free to slap my face until it's the coloUr of a pomengranate.

back to the question...I was always partial to Spenser from the 'Spenser for Hire' series by Robert B. Parker.

My favourite would have to be Arkady Renko from Martin Cruz Smith's Gorky Park novels.

My favo(u)rite mystery novel would probably be Nancy Drew,

My favo(u)rite TV mystery is extremely absolutely positively definitely...

*wonders if that's why she (an american) keeps adding the 'u' to those words without meaning to*
