I was familiar with several of the famous, though fictional, detectives outlined in this book. A couple of them I had heard of, but didn't know, so I appreciated adding new books and stories to my "must read" list.The best thing about this book is the completely new perspective I gained from their characters and works. Without realizing it, I have often thought about fictional characters when faced with day to day situations;  if Monk can handle it, so I can I! Holmes taught me to pay attention, Nero Wolfe taught me that I don’t have to do things the way everyone expects, all the time, and I can still have lasting relationships.That's the point of this book, and I think Adam Graham writes gracefully about the detectives he so obviously loves. We learn our most important lessons from those we love, after all.
