Another Inspector Morse installment. The characterization of Morse in this novel showed an uncertain and anxious detective who works to solve a murder of a woman that he was wanting to have a relationship with (affair is the better word).

Another enjoyable read, the explanation at the end felt a bit far fetched withthe brothers posing as each other when speaking to either Morse or Lewis but all in all a good read

Really fun recognising places now that I know Oxford- e.g. Morse struggling to find parking in Jericho (and getting a parking ticket). The mystery wasn't so compelling, but it was written well and was interesting going along for the ride

A good Morse book (we listened to the audio book read by Lewis which was really good, his impersonations of Morse were quite believable) quite sad too.

This was a good Morse novel with a few clever twists and turns but none too extreme. Unusually, the suspect is quite clear from the outset. What is difficult is understanding how the events took place
Debated a 3 or 4. Probably a 3.75
