[Third voting round and ... finally a clear winner!!]

First Voting Round

Female Detective wins over Male one after tiebreaker.

Second Round

This I did not expect. Ruthless evil one was clearly leading but then the clumsy detective caught up. I'm going to use a comment and a personal preference to break the tie on this one. I always prefer to write "good" MCs so writing a ruthless woman might be fun!

Third Round

Looks like we have a winner of another vote! Out of all strangers our heroine approaches a handsome foreigner.
