[b] Sherlock Holmes vs Hercule Poirot [/b]

Still remains as topic of feud for their respective fans and readers.

I am reader of both & my vote goes for Mr Holmes.

The stories are more realistic, where he is visiting crime scenes taking samples, his cases include clues + witnesses, while Poirot solely relies on witnesses

Also in many Poirot stories though they are interesting at the end as a reader you feel that any other alternate closure was possible but things just happened as Poirot guessed or concluded them ( for eg his famous orient express case. He randomly remembers a case happened years ago and assumes every member related to that case is here and case happenings fit to his logic. There are some more like that). Still reading him or Holmes both are pleasure

So what's your take readers ....whom do you prefer?

Oh goodness. That’s like picking a favorite child. 😂 To me, Hercule is lighter, bears the suffering of his past and intellect a bit more gracefully so I can focus more on the stories and just enjoy him. Sherlock stirs my compassion as well as my delight which allows Watson to achieve his goal of using the stories as illustrations.
