1. Philip Marlowe
2. John Rebus
3. Sherlock Holmes

dabbe How, how, how could I forget Philip Marlowe! Or Sam Spade? I need more choices! #2 is now on my TBR, too! Thanks for playing! ❤️💜🩷 13mo

The_Penniless_Author @dabbe Yeah, I should have added Sam Spade. And Poirot. Really, my list should be Philip Marlowe number one, and then 10 or so others tied for a distant second. 13mo

so-so

A collection of stories from members of “The Detection Club”, a members‘ club of British crime writers. On the whole, a slightly disappointing collection, with some stories not hitting the mark for me at all (perhaps showing their age in some cases?) Best by far was Reginald Hill‘s contribution, involving his famous character, Detective Superintendent Dalziel (minus Pascoe).

Book 10.5 out of 12 for #BFCr2
