Jen at Jen's Book Thoughts is hosting Detectives Around the World between April 11 and April 17 (mark your calendars), and as part of the fun, she's holding the World's Favorite Detective Tournament.
First, I wanted to let you know that I am excited to be one of the many participating bloggers in this event and that I am psyched about my detective -- Dr. Alex Cross, a Washington D.C. cop, psychologist, and FBI agent created by James Patterson.
These are the other participants:
Skrishna's Books - Vish Puri (India)
Booking Mama - Flavia de Luce (England)
Beth Fish Reads - Cork O'Connor (Minnesota)
Hey Lady! Whatcha Readin'? - Kelly Jones (New England)
Jenn's Book Shelves - Archie Sheridan (Oregon)
My Friend Amy - Shunsuke Honma (Japan)
Word Lily - Armand Gamache (Canada)
Literate House Wife - Grijpstra/Gier (Amsterdam)
Lesa's Book Critiques - Gastner (New Mexico)
The Drowning Machine - Thomas Black (Washington)
A Few More Pages - William Monk (England)
Stumbling the Walk - James Crumley (Montana)
L.J. Sellers Blog - Kristin Van Dijk (Texas)
SuziQ Oregon - Simon Serrailler (England)
Bermudaonion's Weblog - Kinsey Milhone (So. California)
Char's Book Reviews - Wade Jackson (Oregon)
Books Are Like Candy Corn - Kimo Kanapa’aka (Hawaii)
Book Chase - Omar Yussef (Gaza)
Each of us will be reviewing one book featuring our chosen detective and providing one post on setting. Guest posts and other fun activities, including a scavenger hunt, are being planned as well.
There is still time to participate, Jen is accepting other blogger participants through March 28. All you have to do is email her your top three detective picks (who have to be cops, FBI, licensed PIs -- not amateur detectives and sleuths) and she will give you your top pick so long as no one has it already.
Voting in the World's Favorite Detective Tournament begins March 5 and will continue each week thereafter until the top detective is selected. Check out the list of 64 nominated detectives, but don't worry Jen will provide you with links to information about them so you can choose wisely. And yes, there will be prizes.
I hope you will join us in one form or another.

As an aside, I've been scarce on the blogs since my cousin came to visit, but I'll be making the rounds soon.
