Subsequently, Nicholas Quinn is found dead having apparently committed suicide. But Morse is convinced it is a case of murder and with cryptic clues, crosswords and puzzles being part of the plot, Morse is in his element. Another great episode and one that moved the series along nicely. The Morse and Lewis relationship is beginning to form into an recognizable partnership of the acolyte and the master. It is such a good scene because it begins with Lewis sneering like an errant schoolboy when told he has to drink sherry to him then looking incredulous when Morse tells him he is dead. Like episode one this episode is full of great British character actors and it also includes the lovely Barbara Flynn whom I had a huge crush on……………………………. Moving swiftly on. Amusingly, the episode includes a rather prudish impression about the the film Last Tango in Paris and in particular categorizing it as a pornographic film. Last Tango in Oxford? Again as in the first episode we had an Agatha Christie type setting when Morse calls for a meeting of all the Syndics and during that meeting he questions Monica Height and arrests Dr. I liked the character of Ogleby, played by Michael Gough, and it is The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn to imagine that he and Morse would have become friends. One can see those two confirmed bachelors sitting around on an evening, drinking the best whisky, solving crosswords and putting the world to rights. Hamlet responds that Polonius should go out of his way to treat them far better for if people were to be treated as they deserved, few would escape whipping. The first piece of music is played while Morse is claiming to be doing paper work but is actually attempting to complete a crossword. Morse visits Roope in his rooms at the college and tinkles something on the piano but unfortunately I have no idea what it is. The next piece is when Morse visits Dr. The Master-Singers of Nuremberg. An interesting note about a piece of music composed by Barrington Pheloung. A blog reader, A. In that episode it was played over the scene when Jackson goes to collect the money left there by Richards. Let us start with the paintings on the wall of the room where there is a party to welcome the Sheik of Al-Jamara. However, I have written to Oriel College to ask if they can verify it is a room in Oriel College and whether they can help with the identification of the paintings. Fingers crossed I get an answer. So I Googled the college and viola found a picture of the room in which the party was held, Brasenose Hall. After a bit of detective work I have more information about the paintings. The artist is unknown. Next up is the painting second from the right. The final one is the painting to the far right. So for the moment it is unidentified. The The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn painting is a much simpler regarding its identification. Lowry is famous for painting scenes of life in the industrial districts of North West England. Below is the original. The original image is below. On the wall is a small painting which I cannot identify as yet with any certainty. See painting below. Philip Ogleby not only works at the Foreign Examinations Board but also sets crosswords under the pseudonym Daedalus. Daedalus was written about by both Greek authors Homer and Ovid. He is probably best known as the father The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn Icarus and Iapyx. The phrase has come to mean over the years The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn, no matter what the problem, a woman is often the root cause. Morse and Lewis are standing outside the cinema after the death of Ogleby. In context this has Polonius saying that he will use the players as they are deserved desert to be used. The Jericho Tavern today. The cinema is the blue The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn on the right. After having looked after my mum for some 11 years she is now unfortunately in a nursing home.

Thanks for reminding me to update this as I meant to do it sometime ago. I believe it might be a Mozart concerto. AB who seems to have an amazing knowledge of classical music is correct. Do you know what The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn music is being played during the scene when Roope goes to meet Bartlett at the botanic gardens? The music you refer to was specifically written for the episode by Barrington Pheloung. I wonder if the Tavern still sells traditional ales. I remember reading about the real ale movement a while ago. Rewatching Morse after finishing Endeavor series 4 for the second time. Some of the actors look The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn.

I think the main problem for Morse is that he would always compare every women he meet to his first and greatest love, Susan. Amongst much The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn work. I noted that Morse has a black eye early in the episode, which has cleared up by the final scenes, anyone know what that was all about? Then again, in the next episode, Service of All the Dead, a scene like this was impossible since there were almost no suspects left to gather by the end of the episode. Clive Swift who played Dr Barlett The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn on 1st February Regarding the episode, the premise is very weak. This is not a very good episode. I am sorry to say The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn, but I disagree with you very strongly in this instance. The many elements that laid the foundations for the Morse series, and made it so watchable, are evident in this episode. There are moments of humour between Morse and Lewis. There are a number of pub scenes. Bribery and corruption committed by eminent Oxford academics, are featured, which has been depicted many times over, subsequently, in the Morse universe. Dexter used his own experience of being partially deaf, and having to learn to lip-read, which was portrayed by the murder victim, Quinn. Dexter also used his experience of working in an examination syndicate, and of course, the syndicate is the main workplace of the murder victims and suspects, in this episode. The theme of Morse being unlucky in love is moderately included, Morse and Monica flirt, fairly gently with each other, and there is not The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn more of it afterwards, although The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn comforts her in hospital, after the death of Ogleby. Lastly, Morse met a kindred spirit, in Ogleby, a fellow batchelor, intellectual, and crossword lover, in fact a crossword setter, and one who appears to like his whisky. The theme of Morse enjoying, crossword The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn, was thus first The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn in the Morse series, in this episode. In addition, Bishop stated, that this episode was remarkably faithful to the original novel, which showed the strength of source material provided by Dexter. Regarding your views, Adrian, on the premise, or motive behind the murders being weak, I also disagree with you. Nicholas Quinn, wrongly believed Bartlett was behind the examination cheating and corruption, mistakenly lip-reading the name Doctor Bartlett for Donald Martin. Quinn then tells Ogleby, his suspicions. Why do Martin and Roope conspire to kill Quinn, then, I hear you ask, if Quinn thought it was Bartlett that was guilty of corruption? My answer to that would be, Martin and Roope, know Quinn is beginning to be suspicious, and asking some awkward questions about allegations of bribery and corruption in the syndicate. Quinn realises George Bland, his predecessor, who is overseeing the examinations in the Arab world, is corrupt, and that he would need a fellow corrupt friend or friends in Oxford, who would be overseeing the question papers, so that person or The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn could then pass the information on to Bland. Martin and Roope therefore decide to kill Quinn, to end his investigation of their corrupt practices. However, in an elobrate manner, perhaps typical of Oxford academia, they go about framing Bartlett for the murder, through the specific placing of a cinema ticket, thus creating an alibi for themselves, and a supposed time and place of death for Quinn, that was actually false. They were hoping the police would not be able to ascertain properly, where and when, Quinn was killed. Could the police, led by Morse and Lewis, see past the intended framing of Bartlett, which made it look like he had killed Quinn, because, he the little bespectacled permanent secretary of the syndicate, was supposedly the corrupt party, when as we know, he is not.

Colin Dexter's third novel featuring Oxford's Chief Inspector Morse is another complex puzzle surrounding the murder of a man named Nicholas Quinn. Quinn is deaf, and he's recently been hired by the Foreign Examinations Syndicate, which supervises Oxford Colleges' examinations for students who live overseas. It appears that someone may be selling the examinations and that Quinn may have discovered the scandal. But before he can do anything about it, someone slips poison into his Sherry. The othe Colin Dexter's third novel featuring Oxford's Chief Inspector Morse is another complex puzzle surrounding the murder of a man named Nicholas Quinn. The other members of the syndicate are, naturally, the obvious The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn, and as Morse begins to sort through their secrets and rivalries, things get increasingly curious--and dangerous. This is a typical entry in the series and it will appeal to those readers who enjoy British mysteries which really consist of puzzles to be solved by the lead detective. I enjoy reading one of these occasionally, but those who like their crime fiction on the more hard-boiled side might want to look elsewhere. View all 4 comments. The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn Silent World of Nicholas Quinnthe third novel about Inspector Morse, moves outside the Colleges to an independent organisation - The Oxford Examinations Syndicate - which runs exams for overseas students. The eponymous Nicholas Quinn is a recently appointed employee, though the decision by the committee had only been made after some disagreement, which hinged on the fact that he was profoundly deaf. The novel centres round the small group of people working at this establishment, where ther The Silent World of Nicholas Quinnthe third novel about Inspector Morse, moves outside the Colleges The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn an independent organisation - The Oxford Examinations Syndicate - which runs exams for overseas students. The novel centres round the small group of people working at this establishment, where there is a murder - and then a secondary murder. There are occasional visits to the Radcliffe hospital where the narrator makes his views on modern architecture crystal clear and a rather sleazy cinema, but otherwise the setting is the Syndicate building. And the fusty, claustrophobic feeling of a small, rather oldfashioned institution whose sole purpose is to make money by getting so-so students through exams, is conveyed very well. What I disliked yet again about this novel, was the narrator's misogyny. It was published inand The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn had really hoped by now that Dexter would not still be viewing his female characters in such a shallow way. Morse is depicted as unpleasant throughout; bad-tempered, arrogant, viewing every female he meets in terms of their "bedworthiness"and only grudgingly covering his true feelings to all and sundry with a thin veneer of politeness. Sometimes he does not even bother with this, behaving in an appalling manner to Lewis who well knows his moods, but wishes he wasn't "so coarse". On one occasion he actually calls a female witness a "whore" to her face. We are led to believe that this is because he The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn attracted to her himself, which means that he has not only double but probably triple standards. This is The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn an antidote The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn the "gentleman detective" who has hitherto been so standard in British detective fiction. It is The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn, but not impossible, to reconcile this side of Morse with his skill at crosswords, or fiendishly devious mind. Other intellectual pursuits seem so far to have been inserted by scriptwriters in the TV versions. What is unacceptable is that the narrator himself shares this tits-and-bum view of females. If a new male character is introduced we have a straightforward description. Sometimes there is not even that. The character is The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn built up and revealed through the telling of the story. A familiar and perfectly acceptable way of writing a novel. But a female character? No - the process is very different. There will probably be a few loaded words of description to sum them up; an instant judgement. Additionally they will be there solely to fulfil a role adjunct to the male characters. There is one exception - Monica Height - who is the token female in the academic establishment. The fact that Dexter has decided she is sexy, and that every male is besotted with her, is thrust down our throat at every opportunity. Women are a distraction. Men cannot help but be at the mercy of their baser instincts. There are 2 sorts of women - those who know this and capitalise on it "whores" and those who are dowdy and stupid. This seems to be Dexter's world view in a nutshell. Dexter's - not Morse's. Morse is frequently nowhere around when the narrator is pontificating. The reader may wonder whether it is worth reading these rather sad, sleazy novels, with the characters - including the coppers - indulging in voyeuristic viewings of a film about a busty nymphomaniac. Please keep your own fantasies outside your novels Mr Dexter. However the plot is rather good. I would have preferred it though if the ending had been written in a more straightforward way; not with the action all being reported. There is a long exposition at the end, where Morse goes through at length, and in great detail, how he sees the crimes having been committed. This is rather reminiscent of Agatha Christie's Poirot. True to form, Morse has made so many inspired guesses that turn The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn to be incorrect, that the convoluted ending is far from clear. It is one of the more enjoyable parts of the characterisation, however, that Morse gets his results from inspired guesswork, leaving the detail and hard work to Lewis. The contrast makes for an entertaining The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn. Incidentally, for Morseophiles, this is the first novel where it is noticed that nobody knows Morse's first name. Lewis comments on it. It is also the first novel where there is a brief mention of Lewis's wife. Almost a quarter through the series, the reader has to expect that the characters have now been broadly determined. The plots are definitely worth sticking with, and the sense of place is quite good. It is really of The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn account that the main character is disagreeable. But it is to be hoped that the narrator who does seem to speak with the author's voice does not continue to have such a heavy-handed presence in the rest of these novels, given that he has such prejudicial views. Edit: May It is worth adding a comment here, as I have now read and reviewed all 13, and the novels do indeed get better!
