This is an interesting step back in time - to the 70\'s to be exact. It is Colin Dexter\'s first book in his \"Inspector Morse\" series. If you saw the PBS series you know how irritable Morse could be. The actor was true to the part.
Another good Morse mystery for fans of British novels.
1st Inspector Morse book.

Since this was my first time reading any Morse books, but I've been a longtime fan of the series, it was a little odd, as I have a very good picture of Morse and Lewis in my mind. In this version, Morse is not as erudite as he is in the series, and it threw me a bit. I had also not remembered him falling in love... but of course, this is why you read the book instead of watching the tv series...
It's a good book, and does present a different view of Inspector Lewis from the PBS TV series. I've only read this first one of the 6 I bought so am finding the plot twists sometimes hard to follow, but I liked the book.
An enjoyable experience. One of Dexter's best.
Being a huge fan of Inspector Morse on PBS, I was surprised to find that there were books available. Thanks to Colin Dexter I relived another episode. A very well written plot that changed at every corner. And poor Sargent Lewis, never understanding what was really going on in Morse's mind, so often had to walk on egg shells before his boss finally told him what he was really thinking. They make very different pair, each trying to out think the other and wonderfully, in the end, their different thoughts and ideas come together to solve the mystery. Kudos to Mr. Dexter.
