Morse's Greatest Mystery and Other Stories by Colin Dexter
4.0
This story collection includes some stories featuring Inspector Morse/Sergeant Lewis and others not; they are all focused on crime or some element of deceit, with a twist (or two) at the end. The title story (actually in the middle of the book) is a brief vignette that will make you look at Morse with a wistful smile. There's even a Sherlock Holmes story, Mycroft and all!
Dexter's writing is typically terse with a few well-chosen details for effect. Some stories are more memorable than others, as is usually the case with a collection, but they're engaging and enjoyable overall.
