This is the first Inspector Morse novel that I have read. The characters (particularly Morse and Lewis) are easy to imagine (or maybe that's just because I imagined Morse as being John Thaw) and the story itself is original. At any rate, I haven't read a murder mystery with quite the same plot before. However, I did feel that the climax and resolution didn't do the story credit. I'm told that this is one of Colin Dexter's less impressive novels so I will certainly try his others and hopefully find them more satisfying.
