4.0�toiles sur 5 A great read about a cop who is a cut above the rest., F�v 3 2002

Par Un client

Morse and Lewis are made for each other. Morse's crankyness shows that he is every bit all too human. Lewis is too much the company man and can't always see beyond the obvious. If anything the two complement each other. Together they have solved yet another baffling crime that would have stumped lesser minds.

5.0�toiles sur 5 A mystery with wit, suspense and humanity., Nov. 7 2001

Par	Edward Alexander Gerster "miamibooks" (South Miami, FL USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

Colin Dexter is a masterful writer who has done a magnificent job in developing the characters of Chief Inspector Morse and Sergeant Lewis. I have truly enjoyed watching them develop in his novels over the years and have marveled at the friendship that has developed in these characters of such opposite demeanor.

In this most fascinating mystery, Morse faces his own mortality in some rather surprising ways while trying to resolve a murder that appears to have been a mistake. Blackmail, tabloid journalism and the secrets of Oxford dons all weave together in ways that ultimately reveal a devious but logical solution. One of the author's finest novels -- highly recommended.

Par	Stefanie N (Schuyler, VA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

With a frighteningly penetrating, ever-active mind, Chief Inspector Morse always attributes more brilliance and originality to the criminal than is warranted. To me, author Colin Dexter's magic act lies in the way he conceals the relative ordinariness of the crimes(and criminals) as we become entranced by Morse's poetic interpretations of them. In this installment of the series we are made privy to the angling of University dons as they vie to become Master of Lonsdale College. There is somewhat less vividness in the portrayal of the academics than I would have hoped--the two competing wives, each with certain similarities to Lady Macbeth, are more compelling. The relationship between Morse and Lewis is quite warm when compared to earlier books in the series, with Morse expressing his appreciation to Lewis in moving terms. The ultimate resolution of the murder relies exceedingly on figuring the amount of time needed to commute between point A and B, which I found tedious. What binds the whole are the personalities of Morse and Lewis. Beyond that we see Morse contemplating life and death with pragmatism and romance, which is what ultimately makes this a haunting book.

5.0�toiles sur 5 The best Inspector Morse book yet!
I'm surprised all reviewers haven't given this book 5 stars. To my mind, it is the deepest Morse book. It is only secondarily a murder mystery. Read more
