Sherlock Holmes

CLASSIC DETECTIVEYou are extremely intelligent, exacting, and more than a little eccentric - but if there’s a criminal afoot, you’re more likely than anyone else to root him out. Probably because you’re willing to completely forego all social norms to get the job done.DETECTIVE: Sherlock Holmes           AUTHOR: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes is perhaps the most well-known detective in the world - and for good reason. He is extremely intelligent, can adopt any disguise, and is able to make broad conclusions from minute observations. An eccentric man, he can be dispassionate and cold, holds no regard for tidiness or cleanliness, and is willing to bend the truth if it is morally justifiable.  His fantastic skills of detection (and those of his assistant Dr. Watson) were featured in four novels and fifty-six short stories written between 1887 and 1914.  Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories are fast-paced and suspenseful - drawing readers into compelling and addictively intelligent plot-lines.Click here for a complete list of books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Kinsey Millhone

PRIVATE INVESTIGATORYou are an energetic force to be reckoned with. There’s a reason people hire you - you won’t stop working on a case until you figure it out. You take pride in being fair and honest, and you don’t put up with nonsense from anyone.DETECTIVE: Kinsey Millhone           AUTHOR: Sue Grafton Kinsey Millhone is an extremely feisty young woman who was smart enough to leave the police force after two years of being harassed for being a woman. Eventually opening her own private investigation business, Kinsey cares more for solving crimes than for her own appearance. Funny but never cute, Kinsey solves crimes the old-fashioned way (these novels are set in the 80s) - by using the library, interviewing suspects and witnesses, and putting clues together. Starring in 23 books so far (Sue Grafton has promised 26), Kinsey is a heroine you could be friends with. The Kinsey Milhone mystery novels are light and conversational, but extremely engaging. Suspenseful and fast paced, they’re sure to draw readers in and keep them reading. Click here for a complete list of books by Sue Grafton.
