by Colin Dexter

I loved Inspector Morse: firstly on reading the Colin Dexter books
as they were published and subsequently as John Thaw
took on his character in the television series.
I loved his crankiness, his cleverness, his obsession with crosswords,
his passion for music, and his vulnerability in his human relationships.
While the Morse novels appeared to be crime novels they were far more than that.
They had the ability to touch the reader deeply.
This one is the last in the series, and is a truly absorbing read for all lovers of the Morse series.
Colin Dexter has served his readers well.
