About this listen

Last Seen Wearing is the second Inspector Morse novel in Colin Dexter's Oxford-set detective series.

After leaving home to return to school, teenager Valerie Taylor had completely vanished, and the trail had gone cold.

Until two years, three months and two days after Valerie's disappearance, somebody decides to supply some surprising new evidence for the case and it's up to Morse to solve this curious case.

Last Seen Wearing is followed by the third Inspector Morse book, The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn.

The plot is needlessly complicated, quite chaotic, and Morse is a sexist misogynist relic from days we are glad to have grown out of.

Odious Morse

The plot so intriguing. Colin Dextor is a great storyteller

Great story

I suppose I don't like the general misogyny in his writing. The use of the word tart all the time. It sounds dated but the plots are quite fun. However it may be that Colin Dexter is reflecting the attitudes of men in the 1960s. it is after all of its time. I am not a very P. C. person. I don't tend to take unbridge or be eternally offended. So good for a gentle thriller not obsessed with gore and torture and bodies on the metal trays( or what ever they are called) in the mortuary.
