I agree and couldn't have said it better.Mowalski wrote:If the protagonist is overwhelmingly unlikable, then I will hate that character, regardless of gender. At the same time, if a character is endearing and relate-able, then I will like them just the same. I think it all depends on how the author writes them. It's always interesting to see the viewpoint and development of a main character.

There's actually an older mystery series (4 books) by Sarah Caudwell, which is written as though told by the protagonist and told in such a way that the sleuth's gender is never known ...
