Grabbed this from the library on a whim, having enjoyed the tv series. And here a bit of research would have helped with visualizing the characters. Colin Dexter’s books are what the tv show Inspector Morse came from. Spin off Lewis came later. I was envisioning characters from Lewis here and it didn’t add up.
Plus this story is set in the 1970’s when it was written. Should have looked harder before starting All that said I liked this book and how it played out. Definitely a recommend.
