About this listen

Morse had never ceased to wonder why, with the staggering advances in medical science, all pronouncements concerning times of death seemed so disconcertingly vague.

The newly appointed member of the Oxford Examinations Syndicate was deaf, provincial and gifted. Now he is dead....

And his murder, in his north Oxford home, proves to be the start of a formidably labyrinthine case for Chief Inspector Morse, as he tries to track down the killer through the insular and bitchy world of the Oxford Colleges....

After watching the Morse series over many years and wanting read them as well, it was a real success and treat to listen to this audible.

Terrific listen.

Have loved all of the Morse books, great stories and great narration. As always an interesting plot with equally compelling characters

Another winner

Deftly plotted and cryptically laid out for us to try and get our heads around - Morse as superb as ever. I think I'll need to listen to this 2 or 3 times until I understand absolutely everything that's going on.

Superb

A story of its time and it needs to be taken in that context. There are attitudes which are unlikely to be expressed by characters in a novel today. As a period piece this novel works.

Excellently read which adds to he strength of this story and its characters

. Thank goodness for Lewis not understanding the clues, because neither did I . I suspect the struggling Lewis started off as a plot device to allow the author to expand on slightly obscure storylines,

A complex reveal

I had it in my mind that this wasn’t one of my favourite Morse stories but listening to it again after all this time I really enjoyed it and had forgotten all the twists and turns.

Really well read by Samuel West and it’s the real voice of Lewis that sets it apart.

On to the nest one!

Intricate story and twists till the end!
