Guys!! what about Sherlocke Holmes!? I thought that would be number one!

[long-leggedy-annie]

1. Has to be the great Sherlock Holmes, not least because A Study in Scarlett has one of the most apt analogies of the human memory ever written. Holmes is the definitive detective, taking forensic science, human fallibility and characterisation to new levels.

2. Endeavour Morse - the thinking woman's detective. Again human and prone to errors of judgement, showing both harshness and softness of character that underpins the contradictory human nature.

3. Marcus Didius Falco (Lindsey Davis) - flawed and inspiring Roman informer and finder, and agent of the Emperor. No-one should live without reading the life and work of Falco.

4. Sir Henry Gresham, needed by, but no friend of, Robert Cecil - Chief Secretary to King James I. His uncovering of the Gunpowder Plot is one of the defining moments in historical fiction.

5. Gordianus - finder at the time of the fall of the Republic and the rise of Caesar. Fascinating insight into Rome "sub rosa", through the eyes of one of the most believable detectives ever characterised.

No-one should live without reading the life and work of Falco.

How did he have time to write Rock Me Amadeus?

Amazing
