You killed someone!
A famous fictional detective
has been assigned to the case.
Who do you NOT want it to be?
Through circumstances it’ll take at least three minutes at the end of a TV episode to fully describe, you have blood on your hands and have taken another life. You’re a murderer! But the local authorities don’t suspect you–mostly because they’re incompetent idiots. That’s why they’ve asked the famous ________ to take the case.
________ could be any detective in history of the mystery genre–from Sherlock Holmes to Miss Marple to Jim Rockford to Jessica Fletcher to Jake Gittes to Phillip Marlowe. You’re a cool customer and are pretty sure you can handle the pressure, but there’s gotta be one snoop who makes you more anxious than any other.
Who is it?
Fist bump of solidarity to Anonymous who said Columbo. No way do I want him on the case!
Harry Hole in Jo Nesbo’s series.
The Hardy Boys. Please keep them at least 300 feet from my corpse. I’ll come back as a ghost and try to solve the murder myself. South Park did a phenomenal skit on them called “The Hardly Boys” and it rang way too true. Thanks, but no thanks, to Frank and Joe Hardy.
Okay for sure I would not want any incarnation of Sherlock Holmes.
I’m thinking any CSI team on TV right now might be okay. They seem generally terrible. Particularly Vegas.
