and also one of the first recurring gay characters--one of the detectives, not a killer or a victim--that I know of in any mystery series
I never think of those books as Dalziel and Pascoe, because I happened to discover the series with Pictures of Perfection and in consequence I always think of them as Wield and Digweed and some other people.

Mary Renault and John le Carré are also favorites of mine. I love the film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) but have never quite gotten into Aubrey and Maturin on the page, which makes no sense abstractly, but I keep trying. I read about half a dozen, own a couple, and am predictably fond of Stephen.
