These TV detectives first appeared in crime books.
Summary Some of the very best detective TV shows to have ever graced the TV screen were adapted from crime books. Detective TV shows have kept audiences entertained for decades, with many finding it easy to engage with its characters and puzzling investigations that spanned across episodes or even entire seasons. However, only some detective TV shows followed the same format. Many saw a singular main character, whereas some shows introduced some of the best detective duos on TV.
Kathy Reichs' series of novels loosely inspired Bones. Reichs, like the titular character, was a forensic anthropologist, so she used her experiences to create the character Temperance “Tempe” Brennan. Throughout her career, Reichs published several books about the character, the first being Déjà Dead in 1997. Reichs’ Déjà Dead was a huge success and was awarded the Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel.
All six seasons of Longmire were inspired by Craig Johnson's Walt Longmire Mysteries series, which began with the 2004 novel The Cold Dish. As of 2021, Johnson has authored a brilliant 23 stories about Sheriff Walt Longmire. Both Johnson’s writing and Longmire were hugely popular, to the point that a festival was created in Wyoming to celebrate the works. The town of Buffalo first hosted the event Longmire Days in 2012, and over the years, even the author and the show’s cast have attended.
