Publisher's summary

"Murder mysteries are, among other things, our most moral form of entertainment." - Orson Welles

Detective stories are fun and interesting, but as Adam Graham writes, they also have a lot to teach us about life.

Join podcaster Adam Graham on this fun journey through the annals of detective fiction as he examines the history and career of seven of the greatest detectives from literature, radio, and television. Along the way, he stops to point to the sometime surprising insights that these detectives teach such as:

  • How to avoid cluttering your brain from Sherlock Holmes.
  • How to form valuable opinions from Nero Wolfe.
  • The importance of character from Dan Holiday.
  • The proper use of anger from Columbo
  • How to find courage from Adrian Monk

These detectives provide twelve timeless life lessons in a fresh and entertaining way. All I Needed to Know I Learned From Columbo is a must-read for any fan of detective fiction.

Great Book! Very Enthralling, Lots Of Life Lessons

This Book Was VERY Thought Provoking. I Loved The Authors Immense Knowledge Of The 7 Different Detectives That He Takes An In-Deth Look At. Just Thoroughly Enjoyed This Book From Beginning Till The Last Point Was Made. Didnt Want It To End!

Not much detail

Each chapter is very brief, and gives you just very superficial details. There was nothing here that was not easy to see if you just have a passing knowledge of any of these detectives.
