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 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 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 Colin Dexter'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.

  • (2020), No. 9 1 Finding Inspector Morse in The
    Finding Inspector Morse in the Archives In my first morning in the New College archives I was talking with College Archivist, Jennifer Thorp, about the good old days of open stacks when you could stumble across something more interesting than the book you were looking for. It struck me that archives held out that long-lost promise of academic serendipity and so it turned out to be. I was in the archives to research the College’s leading role in coresidence—the admission of women to the formerly men’s colleges. Although New College was the first Oxford College to formally raise the issue of admitting women it was not among the first to do so and I wondered why this was the case. I hoped to discover the answer in the archives. As I read the pamphlet ‘Ten Years of Women at New College’ I came across a quote from one of the first women to live in New College. Her first impression of the College was ‘this would make a fantastic film set’. As a fan of Inspector Morse—and just about anything to do with crime fiction—I suspected that an episode or two of Inspector Morse had probably been filmed here and I tried, unsuccessfully, to recall which episodes they were based on my having by now been in College for a full week as a Visiting Fellow. And, of course, having memorized every nook and cranny of this marvellous place. But I was not here to ponder whether Morse has ever strolled the quads of New College.

Becoming Morse in Endeavour: the prequel as locus of reconstruction of the past? 1 Becoming Morse in Endeavour: the prequel as locus of reconstruction of the past? Armelle Parey Introduction 1 The figure of Inspector Morse first appeared in a novel by Colin Dexter, Last Bus to Woodstock, in 1975. By the time the character reached the TV screen in 1987, impersonated by John Thaw (in The Dead of Jericho), Colin Dexter (1930-2017) had already published 7 of the 12 novels he wrote in total around the figure of the grumpy opera- loving inspector. The TV adaptation, Inspector Morse, consisted in 33 films, broadcast in series or as “specials”, aired on ITV between 1987 and 2000, finishing with the adaptation of The Last Remorseful Day (1999) in which the character dies1. Following the death of John Thaw in 2002, Dexter stipulated in a clause in his will that no other actor should reprise the role2.

Thaw died in 2002. But his daughter Abigail Thaw (Vanity Fair) makes a very special appearance in Endeavour.

Lewis also created the spinoff series Inspector Lewis, featuring the exploits of Morse’s sergeant.

The guilty have been punished by hanging but yet Morse is not convinced about the truth that was always assumed. Lewis considers applying for a promotion to Inspector, to the obvious dismay of Morse. Release Dates. Felix McClure, a retired university don, is found stabbed to death in his apartment. I particularly enjoyed the short quotations which preface each of the chapters, beginning, of course, with the title: "Friar Barnadine: Thou has committed fornication- Barabas: But that was in another country, and besides, the wench is dead.

I’m not alone. Sales and TV viewing figures show the enormous popularity of the form; its benefits have been observed for mental health and well-being, and it provides theorists with the pleasure of analysing social structures, identity and political imperatives through its lens. My favourite detective is Endeavour, though I admit that I don’t like Morse, a creation of the novelist Colin Dexter, which was voted the greatest British crime drama of all time. I like Morse’s car, his taste in music, his capacity to disentangle mysteries as perplexing as Gordian knots. But I don’t like his old-man grouchiness and his dated gender politics. This frees me to take real pleasure in the prequel centred on his younger self, Endeavour Morse (played by Shaun Evans), untrammelled by any need to relate Baby Morse to the curmudgeon he would later become.

We begin from Oxford but will be happy to collect clients staying nearby or arriving by train from London or elsewhere.
