To get this thread started, one of my favorite characters is Kinsey Millhone of the Sue Grafton alphabet series. I feel drawn to her because she is single, like me, and leads a very active and independent life.

And who wouldn't envy having Henry as a landlord and neighbor - a retired baker who loves to cook.

Sometimes I see a lot of myself in Kinsey, except that I have never been shot at (directly), but that's another story. smile

Okay, your turn - who is your favorite character?

For me, it's between Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot, two Agatha Christie sleuths. I can't decide.

I love Clare from the Coffeehouse Mysteries a lot. I am also a fan of Stephanie Plum. I really like Aurora Teagarden, too. I see you mentioned that you're reading that series. I love her! Chloe Carter from the Gourmet Girl Mysteries. Can you tell I love a series? smile

The Coffeehouse series is by Cleo Coyle. They take place in a coffee shop in NYC. I've liked them all quite a bit.

It is difficult to pick a favorite sometimes, even when the characters are as different and unique as Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot. Seeing both of them on TV really added to the flavor of the books - probably because the actors were so well chosen, IMO.
