Thanks to a recently discovered TV station that shows all the "oldies" I was introduced to Colombo. Somehow I missed him whem I was younger. It is now a rare occasion that I miss an episode.When this book was offered in exchange for am honest review it caught my eye and I downloaded and read it.Colombo is certainly an interesting character.He does not look like a detective, so he has the advantage of disguise.His attention to detail is amazing, and this usually gives him the advantage in solving even the most cleverly planned crimes.He is persistent to the point of being annoying as he follows his gut feeling that something is not right and is determined to expose the truthHe is very tactful in dealing with his suspect. They often have no idea he suspects them.There are certainly many lessons we can learn from this fictious character,  and Adam points out many of them in this very interesting book.This book does not just examine the life of Colombo but also studies Sherlock Holmes, Father Brown,  Monk and other well known and liked fictional detectives.I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and certainly recommend it. It will start you thinking and looking for other traits  in the lives of these and other TV characters that you can apply to your life.
