Sherlock Holmes:
Books - INTP
BBC 2010 series - ISTP
'80-'90 series with Jeremy Brett - INTP

Hercule Poirot
Books - INFJ (with OCD)
David Suchet series - INFJ (with OCD, makes him seem S at a shallow look)
Other adaptations - ISFJ?, INTP?, xxxx... (but I think OCD is always preserved)

Miss Marple
- Always on Fe-Ti axis. Fe more pronounced (she's a female and grew up in the Victorian Era), but stacked under Ti.
Agatha Christie's Marple series 2004, with Geraldine McEwan - INTP
Agatha Christie's Marple series 2004, with Julia McKenzie - ENTP
I haven't read any of the books with Miss Marple, so I don't know. But I suspect she's still a Fe-Ti type, like Poirot.
I know there are other movies with this character, I haven't seen them so I also don't know what type she is presented as there.

L (Death Note)
INTP, without a doubt.
T dom placed against the other kind of T dom - Light, an ENTJ.

Favorite fictional Detective is Dirk Gently. Pretty sure he’s an ENFP or an ENTP. And it’s great because he doesn’t use “logic” to really solve his cases. He’s a bit... Well... “him”, I guess could be the only way to describe the little oddball. He’s definitely tired of everyone’s shit, though.

Miss Marple: ISFJ
Si over Ni, see how she always contextualizes her reasoning with "this is just like when x incident happened in St. Mary Mead" vs. Poirot's (INFJ) "gray cells" approach.
