Master of Detection: Round Duex

Wow, ok, looks like our little poll for Best Detective in the sidebar has resulted in a tie between Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. Father Brown also fared respectably, but Miss Marple brought up the rear.

That was unexpected.

Now we have to decide between two greats: a pipe-smoking, drug-taking, master of detection from London; or a portly, mincing, Belgian master of detective psychology with his "little grey cells".

To whom goes the crown and why? We await your answers.

Poll On The Best Detective

Let's try something new: a simple poll. See it in the upper left corner of the blog sidebar?

A simple question, four possible answers. Who's the best detective? Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, or Father Brown?

Go on, vote!

Riddle Me This

UPDATE: Take the poll in the upper left sidebar. Vote for your favorite detective!

In a bake-off of great fictional detectives, who would win? I may have to watch them all to find out. Even If I can't draw any final conclusions, it'll still be time well spent. Who would you vote for:

Hercule Poirot



Sherlock Holmes



or Miss Marple?
