 Morse Junkies Only !! November 11, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
If, like myself, you've read every Morse book, seen every episode on TV, and just need a final 'fix', you may enjoy this !! It's a collection of short stories (not all of which involve Morse) with different twists, some clever, some predictable and some plain ridiculous. It strikes me as a collection of plots which Colin could not develop into full blown stories but which were too good to simply dump.
 Very poor May 5, 2007
Half the short stories do not feature Morse. His 'Greatest Mystery' is dire but I won't ruin it for those who purchase the book by going into it. Some of the storylines and twists are quite clever but on the whole this really is a disappointment. Fine if you want to be able to dip in and out but Morse lovers may be disappointed with this one.
Enthralling short detective stories March 18, 2001
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
A book of 11 short stories, ranging from 5 to 30 minutes reading time. All compelling reading, thought provoking. All reminders of cryptic crossword clues, double bluffs, mystery and intrigue. Not all the stories feature Morse. Morse's greatest mystery is the one story with the least criminal and detective content. The story subjects include fabricating evidence, theft, escape from prison, impersonation, infidelity and murder. A likable book, worth reading, recommended for holidays or train journeys. The first Colin Dexter I've read it reminded me of Ian McEwan but not so macabre.
