Now at the useless-shit stage of my day.
Monk would win almost all tournaments except for actual magical cases tournament which Dirk Gently would win.

Slightly expanded. The generator lays it out slightly weirdly. The numbers are matches-ups, not seed rankings.

Oh wait, it does show the seeds too inside the boxes. Yep.

I’d frankly want a Dirk Gently vs Elijah Bailey final, for a final mystery set in a universe where... you don’t know upfront if it’s a regular, fantasy, or sci-fi universe 😎

Sorry Holmes fans, he’s just cheap parlor tricks and charisma. He only looks good because of atmospherics.

Okay final. Dunno how I forgot my recent favorite detective, Bosch. Enters the tournament at #2.

In case it isn’t clear, this is only detectives I’ve read/watched. If they’re not on the list I likely haven’t read any.
Missed another favorite: Harley Quinn/Mr. Satterwaithe, who might be my favorite Christie pair. Only 1 short story collection y=though, and no novels.

Quinn would be closest Christie came to inventing Dirk Gently type ontological detective. He’s quasi-fantasy. The solutions are never magical, but the detection process has some magical nudging.
