Seem to recall doing a couple of these way back in the mists of time (when the Needler was a mod, and that's going back some...)

Some elementary exercising of the little grey cells is called for – who created the following detectives?

-1. Kelsey Millhone
-2. Inspector Linley
-3. Miss Marple
-4. Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby
-5. Nancy Drew
-6. John Rebus
-7. Nick and Nora Charles
-8. Hieronymous 'Harry' Bosch
-9. Kurt Wallander
-10. Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro

Any personal recommendations for other good detective writers gratefully received...

1. Sue Grafton

3.Agatha Christie

Great start!

Love that series, michelle...!

2. Elizabeth George

8. Michael Connelly

7. Dashiell Hammett

Sondi, Lex, Fil -

9. H Mankell. I enjoyed seeing one of his detective stories on PBC.

5. Carolyn Keene

Excellent answers!

Gerry - I've just started reading the Wallander books after seeing it on the BBC. They had two versions running more or less at the same time - the original Swedish one, and a UK one starring Kenneth Branagh. To be honest, I preferred the original, even if it meant reading subtitles...

Joan - didn't even realise Carolyn Keene didn't exist until I made this quiz up. Looked on Wiki and saw:

"The character first appeared in 1930; the books have been ghostwritten by a number of authors and are published under the collective pseudonym Carolyn Keene "

You live and learn...

6.Ian Rankin

Yes, Haroula!

Urban Worrier I saw the BBC version. That was all I could get on my PBC in the USA. I hope they have more.

4. Caroline Graham

Yes Gail!

10. Dennis Lehane

Well fielded, Koala!
