Morse’s Greatest Mystery and Other Stories by Colin Dexter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’m not usually a fan of a short story collection, but this one is outstanding. I also don’t give five stars lightly. I feel the overall book deserves them. I’ll add that not all may love this set of stories. Those who love real mysteries will love these. Those who love James Patterson or Sandra Brown are likely not to like them.
Dexter really has a flair for crafting a short mystery. No easy task. Sorry there is only one collection of short stories. Still hope for more from Dexter.
The tales in the book are all mysteries with great characters, stories and terrific writing.
Bottom line: I recommend the book!
