| Some of the Great Detectives: Eyes Included in Maxim Jakubowski's 100 Great Detectives |
Maxim Jakubowski's 100 Great Detectives,
published in 1991, is an absolute delight. In it, contemporary mystery authors
expound on their personal favorite fictional detectives. As Jakubowski states
in his intro: "Every author was asked to submit a list of two or three
of their favorite characters, and I then assigned a detective to each. I
think the result is wonderfully idiosyncratic and makes for compulsive reading.
Some of the individual choices are predictable, but so many others less
so, and betray fascinating guilty pleasures." |
