Last seen wearing her school uniform, Valerie Taylor disappeared a little over two years ago on her way back to her school in a small town near after having eaten lunch at home. Seventeen and very well-developed, Valerie had a taste for older men and after her parents reported her missing, Valerie was never seen again and her body was never found. The police detective originally assigned to the case has continued to work it periodically, even though what little trail there was has long sin Last Seen Wearing seen wearing her school uniform, Valerie Taylor disappeared a little over two years ago on her way back to her school in a small town near Oxford after having eaten lunch at home. The police detective originally assigned to the case has continued to work it periodically, even though what little trail there was has long since gone cold. The Superintendent now assigns the case to Chief Inspector Morse. Morse, whose principal interest is homicide, has no interest whatsoever in pursuing the case of a missing person. But he Last Seen Wearing convinces himself that, letter or no letter, Valerie Last Seen Wearing has long since been dead and he sets himself Last Seen Wearing the task of finding her killer, Last Seen Wearing by his faithful sidekick, Sergeant Lewis. Morse will be forced to formulate and discard any number of theories and as he turns up the heat, someone else will have to die so that the secret of what happened to Valerie Taylor will remain a mystery. I do have one minor nit to pick which is that, as the climax nears, Morse completely overlooks a major clue that is literally right in front of his face. Still, this is a minor quibble and Last Seen Wearing is a very enjoyable read. In this second book of the "Inspector Morse" crime mystery series, entitled Last Seen Wearing the cogs and wheels of 's brain are really beginning to revolve. The number of false conclusions Morse leaps to is quite staggering. And embarrassingly I was with Inspector Morse in every blind alley he trundled up. Even when I thought he and I had guessed the answer, Colin Dexter deftly diverted my attention away from it, so that it was literally only in the final few pages that my vagu In this second book of the "Inspector Morse" crime mystery series, entitled Last Seen Wearing the cogs and wheels of Colin Dexter's brain are really beginning to Last Seen Wearing. Even when I thought he and I had guessed the answer, Colin Dexter deftly diverted my attention away from it, so that it was literally only in the final few pages that my vague suspicions consolidated into a correct analysis. Morse and Lewis both seem to be settling happily into their designated roles for the series. It is startlingly different from the TV adaptation though on a number of points. Far from being the cultivated, fastidious intellectual portrayed on TV, Dexter's original seems permanently "randy as a goat"classing women variously as honeys, blowsy or careworn. Though both depictions of the Inspector are able to accurately Last Seen Wearing "The Last Seen Wearing crossword in under 10 minutes. I strongly suspect Dexter not only of writing his own character into that of Morse's, but also writing with a male audience in mind. I cannot see present-day female readers taking kindly Last Seen Wearing such over-simplistic categories, when the male characters have the privilege of being rather more carefully drawn. But then considering the preponderance Last Seen Wearing post-feminist "Chicklit", maybe the Last Seen Wearing rules have depressingly slipped back once more. Lewis Last Seen Wearing different too - stolid certainly, but older than Morse and not a Geordie. But even greater than these differences is the actual FEEL of the book. Very little of the action takes place in Oxford. A fair bit is on motorways, or in London or North Wales. There's not even one Last Seen Wearing around Oxford's Radcliffe Camera! I do wonder what Colin Dexter made of the liberties taken by the TV series. On the other hand I hope he begins to portray his female characters a little more fully in the the next book, rather than inserting ad-hoc sketchy stereotypes. The idea that this is acceptable because this is how the main character views them, really is a poor excuse. View 2 comments. My first impression after reading was 'I have absolutely no idea what to think of this' and it took me a while to figure out why Last Seen Wearing felt so confused. Eventually I realized it was because I had never seen a detective in a crime-series having been so terribly wrong before. Morse does spent most of the time being extremely wrong: he has a theory, a new clue appears that makes it clear that it can't have happened this way. Another theory. New clue. Repeat almost endlessly. However these wrong My first impression after reading was 'I have absolutely no idea what to think of this' and it took me a while to figure out why Last Seen Wearing felt so confused. However these wrong theories aren't comnpletely wasted, many have just a tidbit that isn't completely wrong and collecting all those tidbits finally leads to the real solution as Last Seen Wearing turns out he was wrong about having been wrong at one point However at no point it feels as if Morse is just aimlessly bumbling along, having no idea what's going on. His theories all make sense at the time. You might accuse him of always looking for the more complicated solution but then the actual solution is somewhat complicated and it's not like Sherlock Holmes ever went for the easy solution, he just ended up being almost always right the first time. I did like it but it was a bit too much and too concentrated towards the end. At first they had a theory, folowed up leads for a while, found something that disproved the theory, tried Last Seen Wearing theory. On the final 50 pages or so they just had theory after theory that got often got disproven only a few lines later and that did eventually get a bit Last Seen Wearing. Overall one of those books where I want the half-star system because this was defenitely more than three but not quite four. View 1 comment. In this case, Victoria Last Seen Wearing, an attractive seventeen-year-old disappeared two years ago. Morse is handed the case following the death of Inspector Ainley who had just become interested following receipt of a note that Victoria was alive Last Seen Wearing did not want to be pursued. Morse is Last Seen Wearing she is dead and that possibly the real killer was sending the notes in hopes the investigation will cease. To his mind, Morse just insists on taking a simple case and making it into a complicated mish-mash. This case has numerous false leads and Morse swings from a feeling of ecsatitic success at seeming to arrive at the solution only to have his idea dashed to the ground when the evidence fails to support his conclusions. I've watched all of the episodes of the TV series based on the books and I've also enjoyed both the follow-on Lewis and the prequel, Endeavour. Having said all this, it was nice to find the the book was still fresh and as much as some of the story seemed familiar, I still had no idea where it was headed.

Title: Last Seen Wearing 08 Mar Morse and Lewis Last Seen Wearing the disappearance of teenager Valerie Craven who vanished some six months previously while walking home from her exclusive girls Last Seen Wearing. Morse is the third detective assigned to the case and is convinced that the girl is by now dead. However, the girl's parents receive a note, purportedly from Valerie. Suspicion falls on a number of people, including fellow students, men named in her Last Seen Wearing and some of the teachers at her school. When one of the teachers is killed, the missing persons enquiry becomes a murder investigation. Written by garykmcd. When Morse and Lewis are brought in to a girls' school to deal with the disappearance of Last Seen Wearing young woman, Valerie, he must wade through a myriad of relationships. There is a kind of pecking order that develops in the posh academic world. There are also sleeping arrangements that develop. He also must butt heads with a rich contractor who has little time for his family but who still demands results in finding the girl. These episodes are very long and the pace is often plodding. But Morse continues to be a fascinating character. He has been deemed the drunken detective because of his affinity for a pint or two every so often. It would seem that his supervisor has him on a very short rope, ignoring the accomplishments and being more interested in procedure. Lewis is constantly being challenged by his embracing of protocol. Yet, early on, we see him becoming more and more impressed by the great detective. There are a couple of really good villains in this episode one in particular and they are what moves things along.
