Brother Cadfael.
Haven't read enough mysteries to have other favorite detectives. I like Father Brown, as well.

Read Plum Island, but so long ago I don't remember much beyond it being really good.

Liked Poirot on TV with David Suchet, the sets were magnificent.

Atticus Pund is an interesting investigator in a Who-dun-it within a Who-dun-it. We listened to The Magpie Murders on a recent roadtrip and thought it was very good.


that book was weird. Anyway, he is only in that book.

Harry Bosch is prolly my all time favorite.

I really like Phillip marlowe and sam spade.

OK, I read Cold Dish the first novel in the Longmire series last week on vacation. I enjoyed the heck out of it. It was more humorous than the TV series, with Lucian Connally playing a larger and even funnier role.

Also, Johnson writes in first person from Walt's perspective, much more interesting, again, than how the dramatic presentation works (and I liked that, too.)

Harry Hole

One of my favorites. Nero Wolfe/Archie Goodwin novels are the gold standard in my mind. Enjoyed all the Dave Robicheaux stories. Travis McGee, Nameless, Elvis Cole, Philip Marlowe...there are many great ones to read.
