There are many from dick van dyke to murder she wrote. I like them as well, but my favourite is mr monk, he is fun, one time he was in southern america and he couldnt drink the water in the bottles cos it didnt have the brand he used to drink back home lol

Hotwife loves the idea of being under the investigation of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman so she would say Sherlock and Holmes!

Hubby, well he has a soft spot for Broadchurches DS Ellie Miller.

I love crime fiction of all sorts.

My favourite TV detective is Columbo closely followed by Frost.

My favourite from a novel is Harry Hole courtesy of Jo Nesbo.
