'The thought suddenly occurred to Morse that this would be a marvellous time to murder a few of the doddery old bachelor dons. No wives to worry about their whereabouts; no landladies to whine about the unpaid rents. In fact nobody would miss most of them at all...' By the 16th of July the Master of Lonsdale was concerned, but not yet worried. Dr Browne-Smith has passed through the porter's lodge at approximately 8.15am on the morning of Friday, 11th July. And nobody had heard from him since. Plenty of time to disappear, thought Morse. And plenty of time, too, for someone to commit murder...… (meer)

Great milieu (again). Prissy Oxford don is lured to sordid Soho for fun and who knows what other mischief, but it all goes strangely awry. The story / mystery itself tired me out... another one of those long, twisty, proud of itself Agatha Christie things- just not why i come to these books. But the cranky Morse ... dragging along the earnest Lewis is fun throughout. (

Re-read this and I still find it unnecessarily confusing. Too many characters involved in the crime(s). (

An early Morse book, pre-TV show. So, Morse smokes, likes porn, and drives a Lancia. There is some Morse background in this one, back to his college days. (Which differs again from the TV shows, slightly.) This one was not made into an episode. For obvious reasons. Spoilers. One, Morse is wrong, as you the reader knows, though his explanation is reasonable, it is wrong. Morse does that a lot. This one has no real resolution, as every suspect and murderer ends up dead in the end. A complex read though, fun, experimentally told, I think. (

2. The Riddle of the Third Mile by Colin Dexter. The sixth of the Inspector Morse series. When a body, with all the identifiable parts missing, is pulled from the Oxford Canal, Morse and Sergeant Lewis are sent to figure out who it is and who put it there. The investigation takes them from the offices of Oxford University to the most seedy London clubs, and along the way they discover the pockets of the university where bitterness had been stewing for years.
This investigation is atmospheric, sometimes complicated, and also fun due to Morse's extreme crabbiness and arrogance. (

This sixth book in the Inspector Morse series was good, but I did have a hard time following it at times. As always, the writing and the characters fascinated me, so overall, it was a good read. I need to pay closer attention to the details. I didn't figure this one out either. (
