Mystery Writer Detective: Difference between revisions

== Anime & Manga ==

* The leads from ''[[Kamen Tantei]]'' kind of subvert this. Yes, they're mystery writers who investigate mysteries. But the female lead, especially, is a "fairplay" mystery writer living in a world where ghosts, psychic powers, "all a dream" endings and fictional characters come to life (including the title character) make it impossible to use logic and common sense to actually solve mysteries.

 

 

== Comic Books ==

* Gabe Webb from ''[[The Maze Agency]]''

 

 

== Literature ==

* [[Ellery Queen]]

* Harriet Vane from the [[Lord Peter Wimsey]] novels is another example.

 

 

== Live-Action TV ==

* ''[[The Snoop Sisters]]''

* Temperance Brennan, from ''[[Bones]]''. She writes mystery novels, and she also helps solve crime. Although her career as a forensic anthropologist is probably more important to her ability to solve crimes than her [[Informed Ability|alleged skill as a writer]].
