Book Description

"[MORSE IS] THE MOST PRICKLY, CONCEITED, AND GENUINELY BRILLIANT DETECTIVE SINCE HERCULE POIROT."

--The New York Times Book Review

He meets her at a suburban party. They share a flirtation over their red wine . . . and he doesn't see her again. It's the old familiar story for Morse. Then one day he just happens to be in Jericho, where Anne Scott lives. Nobody's home--and Morse should know since her door is unlocked and he takes a quick look inside. Only later does Morse learn that the lady was at home, just not alive. The jury's verdict at the inquest is death by suicide. But that doesn't sit right with Morse, and he embarks on his own investigation into the tangled private life of a lovely woman, all the while feeling his own remorse of what might have been. . . .

"You don't really know Morse until you've read him. . . . Viewers who have enjoyed British actor John Thaw as Morse in the PBS Mystery! anthology series should welcome the deeper character development in Dexter's novels."

--Chicago Sun-Times

"A masterful crime writer whom few others match."

--Publishers Weekly



Ingram

Both of them were neighbors in Oxford's run-down Jericho district. The divorcee had been hanged by the neck; the seedy odd-job man murdered amongst his home library of pornography. Inspector Morse might have taken a more professional interest if he had not been on the point of accepting the lady's open invitation only minutes after the murder squad began their investigation into her death. Unabridged. September '98 publication date. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable, stimulating read !, May 4 1998
By CDSblair@aol.com (Louisville, TN) - See all my reviews
A chance, flirtatous encounter between Inspector Morse and a friend of a friend provides the context for Inspector Morse's interest in a tawdry suicide. The brooding Chief Inspector contemplates what might have been as suicide turns to murder, and murder again ! Sergant Lewis and Coroner Max Bell provide a delicious counterpoint to a puzzle with a light literary undercurrent. A good read !

4.0 out of 5 stars A fanastic mystery book by Colin Dexter, Dec 19 1997
By A Customer
This book is good, yet it is just like any other ordinary mystery book. It has a boring start, but as the story progresses it gets more intense. It starts off like a mystery book. The detective meets with a lady. They get to know each other and later on the lady is found dead in her home. Murder? or Suicide? --The detective is on the search for answers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Mystery Book that must be read., Dec 9 1997
By A Customer
In the beginning of the story, it was just like another typical mystery story. After a while, the story was getting really exciting. The ending was smashing and the characters was great.I highly recommend this to everyone.
