Goodreads asked Rob Dinsmoor:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Rob Dinsmoor Nick and Nora Charles, the couple in Dashiell Hammett's The Thin Man. Nick's a retired detective and lives in New York with his wife Nora and their dog Asta. Despite the fact he's retired, he and Nora still get visits from his old crook friends and solve crimes. I like the couple because they're on equal footing and they don't tend to judge the criminal element in their midst--just help them lead better lives. Plus, they seem to have a lot of fun doing it!
