Leaving aside that all three are detectives, what do Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot and Maigret have in common ?
I know that they are all fictional - but I do not think that is the answer, nor does the fact that every one of them has a "side-kick", helper or companion (Dr. Watson, Capt. Hastings and Lucas, respectively) seem to be the right answer. All single (unmarried), perhaps? Help !!!!!

Thank you everybody above for your observations. Without wishing to upset anybody, I am submitting my quiz entry with this particular question unanswered.
Good luck all, with your own Quiz entry .
Hi Keyboardix

I answered - or more properly didn't answer this question as neither could I find anything conclusive - on the last thread re: this - quoted in one of the posts above.

Still can't give any other suggestions I'm afraid but could I ask you to post the answer once you know it as this is still bugging me and my two Sherlock Holmes/ Poirot loving colleagues very much. You will make us all very happy!

Thanks in advance

Louise
Yes -good luck with this keyboardix, and can I echo Louises' request to let us know the answer in due course.

Will do - but obviously I depend on the Quiz Organiser marking and returning my entry promptly. It is several PAGES long and I recall that it does not close for entries until next Sunday.
