Well, I'm sad to see a few of my own favorites going home after Round 1, but CONGRATULATIONS to all the first round victors. There were quite a few of these match-ups that were literally won but a matter of a few votes, so every vote does indeed count. Fill in your brackets with last week's winners. Tomorrow will start Round 2, so rally your friends, spread the word and come back to support your favorite detectives!

Fun!!! I'll be back to vote again tomorrow.
This is fascinating. I did very well on the left side of the chart, not as well on the right side. However, my selections for the final eight, four, two and winner are still possible. What fun!
I'm sad to see that Walt Longmire lost in the first round. And Ray Dudgeon must feel like a late 60's small college that drew John Wooden's UCLA Bruins in the first round of the NCAA! At least some of my other picks are still in it. This is was fun, Jen. Thanks for this.
Many of mine fell in the first round. Don't know what that says about my reading tastes! LOL I think I'm saddest about Walt.
Well, I lost some of mine. And Walt. Really?? I like Alan Banks too, but Walt?? At least Ceepak is still there!
I'm with you everyone, I was sad to see Walt go, too.
And Le0, I was sad to see Ray go as well as Lincoln Perry, Gamache, and Harry Hole.
I still can't get over how many close some of those contests were. Literally, a matter of a few votes would have made the contest turn the other way.
And Cathy, it says absolutely nothing about your reading tastes!! Le0's example of Ray Dudgeon is a great one. He likely fell because everyone knows who Sherlock Holmes is, even if you don't read crime fiction. But that doesn't mean Ray isn't fantastic. He just needs more people to know who he is...and maybe this will help that to happen! I hope so.
My bracket is busted. Morse and Jack Taylor both go out in the first round - heathens!
I can't gripe too much, but was sad by some of the match-ups.
Looking forward to round two!
Skin didn't make it out of the first round, but I am thrilled he made it into the competition at all. Now on to Round 2! :)
