I liked Colin Dexter's writing. His characters are unique and the plot is interesting enough to keep me guessing until the end. Morse is at times unlikable but fascinating enough to keep me wondering what he was going to do next. It is a short book with a lot packed into it. It has lots of twists, turns and surprises that keep things moving. I liked the puzzle aspects of the book too. I didn't necessarily like the way he treated Lewis but part of the problem was that Lewis was not man enough to stand up to him. I hope in the next books that Lewis' character becomes stronger and Morse becomes more sedate. I didn't like the old men following after the young girls and I found Morse's behavior with Sue undesirable.
I liked the ending of the book and thought Colin Dexter did a great job keeping us in the dark. There were clues but a hard case to decide who the murderer was. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. I would recommend this book to those who like British mysteries.
