@Chibigirlygamer: Miss Marple is a fictional character created by one of the best crime novelists ever known in the world, Agatha Christie. Just like Sherlock Holmes is Conan Doyle's most used detective character, Miss Marple is Agatha's, although she is rivaled by Agatha's other detective character, Hercule Poirot. This is where the favouritism begins: who's a better and more-liked character, Miss Marple or Hercule? You need to read their books to know them before deciding the winner. ;)

I love how Sherlock Holmes is beating everybody else. I'm sorry Poirot, Marple.

This is supposed to be a contest between Agatha's characters. I blame myself for bringing in Sherlock.;)

I voted Poirot but then when I submitted my brain went "No! You betray Didius Falco!"
