Who is Your Mystery Valentine?

Whether you think this holiday is too commercial or you revel in it, I wish you a great Valentines Day!  I will be volunteering at a fundraiser for the cat shelter, Look What the Cat Brought In.  Sharing the love of cats!

This may sound a little bit odd for a question to readers, but here goes.  I know we all have favorite characters in the books we read, but which character in a mystery or crime fiction novel would you want to go on a date with...if they were to spring out the pages of the book and be real???

Would it be Archie Goodwin from the Nero Wolfe novels or maybe boyish Ellery Queen?  Would it be Hamish Macbeth, Inspector Arthur St. Just or maybe Marco Salvare from the Flower Shop mysteries is your idea of a hot date?

I don't want to leave anybody out, so anybody our there think Stephanie Plum, Kinsey Millhone, Stieg Larson's Lisbeth or chef extraordinaire Goldy Korman would their idea of a great date?

There are some great characters in the thousands of crime fiction books around us that there must be somebody for everybody.  So, fess up and share who your mystery valentine would be!!

Let's get some lively comments flying back and forth - let your imagination go and have some fun with this ;-)
