Product Description

Book Description

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

--The New York Times Book Review

This time Inspector Morse brings the imposition on himself. He could have been vacationing in Greece instead of investigating a murder that the police have long since written off. But he finds the crime--the brutal killing of a suburban churchwarden--fascinating. In fact, he uncovers not one murder but two, for the fatal fall of St. Frideswides vicar from the church tower Morse reckons to be murder as well. And as he digs into the lives and unsanctified lusts of the late vicar's erring flock, the list of the dead grows longer. Not even the oddly appealing woman he finds scrubbing the church floor can compensate Morse for the trouble he's let himself in for. So he has another pint, follows his hunches, and sets out to untangle the deadly business of homicide. . . .

"A BRILLIANTLY PLOTTED DETECTIVE STORY."

--Evening Standard (London)

"WILY. . . ELEGANT."

--Observer (London)

Ingram

Something sinister is happening at St. Fridewide's in Oxford. Can it be that the famous church is cursed? Another Inspector Morse mystery. Ties in to the six-episode PBS Mystery! series beginning in February.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent mystery!, Jan 24 2002

By	John D. Costanzo "johndc" (Bensalem, PA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was my first trip into the world of Inspector Morse, and I am happy to say that it was well worth it. I can see how Morse has become one of the most beloved crime solvers in the genre.

There are plenty of plot twists and several suspects in this case, and you need to pay attention. But Dexter is a fine writer and although you may sometimes feel puzzled, you are never confused. The story moves along at a perfect pace and is brought skillfully to a satisfying conclusion.

It was a wonderful mystery novel and I am looking forward to reading about the further exploits of Inspector Morse.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the Worst Dexter, Jul 20 2001

By	Elizabeth Bronzino "Sensa" (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

...but not the best. Last Bus To Woodstock is the best Morse novel, and the later ones pale in comparison. I liked this, especially better than The Secret of Annex 3, but it still doesn't have all the twists and turns of the first.

To sum up, if you've read the first, then go for this one; it won't disappoint. If you've read all but this and the last novel, by all means read this one, you'll still be content. But if you're a looking for a new mystery novelist, go for Last Bus To Woodstock.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Intricate and Entertaining Tale, Jul 23 1999

By A Customer

Two murders connected to a church lead Morse and Lewis into a complex series of clues and characters -- especially as more deaths occur...Morse keeps us mystified until the very end...Colin Dexter is a true genius.
