Hey everybody, Alex from the Seaside Cove Bed & Breakfast here. As the youngest sleuth on the bench, I’m totally going with somebody closer to my age. That’s not to say I don’t like some of the other sleuths my friends have come up with—I especially like Miss Fisher. I think Phryne Fisher is awesome, but I want to work with somebody who totally gets me, so if I need help, I’m gonna call on Nancy Drew!

Usually, I (Marla Vail) team up with Detective Dalton Vail to help him solve cases. Now that we are married, he’s learned to value my input. As for fictional characters, I admire Miss Fisher from Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. That woman has style and sass, and it would be fun to work with her.

Personally, I (Sarah Blair) would be glad to never have to solve another case. But because of her culinary skills and ability to get to the bottom of anything, I think a Goldy Schulz (written by Diane Mott Davidson)/Sarah Blair team would be unbeatable – as well as downright funny. 

Hi, Miranda Trent here from the thriving cultural tourism business in eastern Kentucky. Although I should be focusing on my Paint & Shine business, I often get caught up in murder investigations. I would love to team up with Jessica Fletcher to observe her methods. She manages to solve mysteries while writing mysteries. My hero.

As a rank amateur when it comes to solving murders, I (Nina Fleet from the Georgia B&B Mysteries) have great admiration for the many professional female detectives out there in fictionland. Not that I’d ever want her job, but I would love to shadow Detective Sergeant Ellie Miller from the Broadchurch British TV mystery series. She’s dogged and tough as nails even while being a fiercely protective wife and mother. 

My (Tabby Winslow from A Magic Candle Shop Mysteries) answer may surprise you, but I always admired how Columbo came up with the right answers. He was a bit of an outcast among his profession, something we have in common. He liked to keep worrying at the facts. He could help me with focus, and I could help him by making us invisible to eavesdrop. But I’d need a trench coat before we partnered together…

Anastasia Pollock says, my author loves watching the old Thin Man movies featuring Nick and Nora Charles. As a figment of her imagination, I’m always privy to seeing whatever she sees. I think Nora and I would make a great team in the Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mysteries, but I’m grateful for the help from my BFF and Zack, both of whom have saved my life on several occasions.
