About this listen

As he drove his chief down to Kidlington, Lewis returned the conversation to where it had begun.

'You haven't told me what you think about this fellow Owens - the dead woman's next-door neighbour.'

'Death is always the next-door neighbour,' said Morse sombrely.

The murder of a young woman... A cryptic 17th-century love poem... And a photograph of a mystery grey-haired man...

More than enough to set Chief Inspector E. Morse on the trail of a killer.

And it's a trail that leads him to Lonsdale College, where the contest between Julian Storrs and Dr Denis Cornford for the coveted position of Master is hotting up.

But then Morse faces a greater, far more personal crisis....

All of the Morse novels are fabulous examples of Colin Dexter's mastery of the English language and ability to hold a captive audience. This aidiobook is no exception. The plot is excellent and the story is broken down into very managable chapters. Samuel West's wonderful narration brings the audiobook to life. The result? This audiobook comes highly recommended.
