Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot take a bit of beating.

They go on nothing more than a bit of gut instinct and the ability to raise one eyebrow in isolation ..... and they don't trouble themselves too much with evidence.

Fortunately for them, when confronted with their crime, the wrong uns usually capitulate instantly and confess all - otherwise it would all go a bit pear-shaped.

I like that waking the dead and that new ... lie to me isn't bad either
But the old ones are hard to beat ... quality

I quite like Waking the Dead in terms of its storylines but I find the way the main protagonists operate to be a bit too unrealistic. If forensic pathologists really behaved like they do, any rookie defence lawyer (or even a second year law student) would manage to get the accused off the hook - even if they were filmed committing the crime and had a tattoo on their forehead which said "It was me wot dunnit".

Very true
They aren't proper sleuths i suppose .. Poirot was good , loved the tash too
Butthe best sleuth ive seen in action has to be Fenella when she gets an intrest in something

Well, exactly. In real life, they'd be stomped on and told to stop interfering!!

What sort of thing interests Fenella then?

The Bamber case
Its good reading on her and FH
