Who are Your Favorite Detectives and Sleuths?

/

I have loved mysteries since Scooby Doo, Josie and the Pussy Cats, Jabber Jaw, Speed Buggy, Hong Kong Phooey, and the Funky Phantom. Seventies cartoons were full of sleuths and capers. In elementary school, I started reading the classic Nancy Drews and raced to finish the Hardy Boys. Then I moved on to Agatha Christie, Alfred Hitchcock, and One-minute Mysteries. Now, I read anything from cozy to thriller.

Here are my top detectives...

  • C. Auguste Dupin
  • Cagney and Lacey
  • Dick Tracy
  • Elvis Cole
  • Frank and Joe Hardy
  • Hercule Poirot
  • Jim Rockford
  • Mike Hammer
  • Miss Marple
  • Nancy Drew
  • Nero Wolfe
  • Philip Marlowe
  • Quincy
  • Sam Spade
  • Sherlock Holmes (in all forms)
  • Steve McGarrett
  • Thomas Magnum
  • And of course, Scooby Doo!

Who would you add to the list?
