Riot Recommendation: Who Are Your Favorite Fictional Detectives?

María Cristina García lives in New York with her favorite spouse, her favorite toddler, her favorite cat, and her second-favorite cat. When not ranking members of her household, she's catching up on Supergirl, strumming her mandolin, or trying to beat the clock on her library loans. Twitter: @MeowyCristina Blog: MeowyCristina.com

This Riot Recommendation is sponsored by The Night Market by Jonathan Moore.

A mind-bending, masterfully plotted novel that will captivate fans of Blake Crouch, China Miéville, and Lauren Beukes, The Night Market follows Inspector Ross Carver as he works to untangle a web of conspiracy that spans the entire nation. This near-future thriller from an author who consistently gives us “suspense that never stops” (James Patterson) will make your most paranoid fantasies seem like child’s play.


I check every month to see if Netflix has brought back Jessica Fletcher or Lieutenant Columbo. And every month, disappointment. So I guess I’m going to have to get my sleuthing fix between the pages of a book. You know of any good fictional detectives, Riot readers? Give a shout-out to your faves in the comments below!
