If true crime is the steak, detectives are the salt—they bring out the flavor. So let’s kick off by ranking our favorite fictional detectives who made crime-solving cool.

Icons:

  • Sherlock Holmes – deductive genius with no patience for stupidity. Imagine him with Wi-Fi.
  • Columbo – the disheveled detective who weaponized awkwardness.
  • Jessica Fletcher (Murder, She Wrote) – small-town crime magnet. Cabot Cove had more murders than Chicago, but somehow nobody questioned it.
  • Batman – yes, technically a vigilante, but also “the world’s greatest detective.” Plus, who else could afford a CSI kit with a Bat-logo?
