Summary

He looked overweight around the midriff, though nowhere else, and she wondered whether perhaps he drank too much. He looked weary, as if he had been up most of the night conducting his investigations....

For Oxford, the arrival of 27 American tourists is nothing out of the ordinary...until one of their number is found dead in Room 310 at the Randolph Hotel.

It looks like a sudden - and tragic - accident. Only Chief Inspector Morse appears not to overlook the simultaneous theft of a jewel-encrusted antique from the victim's handbag....

Then, two days later, a naked and battered corpse is dragged from the River Cherwell. A coincidence? Maybe. But this time Morse is determined to prove the link....

Perfect Narration

The narrator on all these Morse books (so far) is just a perfect choice. The story of course is superb but the narrative takes the storey to the next level.

Not my favourite

Struggled a little with this although final summing up vintage Morse. Story didn't hold my attention. No issues with performance - usual high standard.
