The Jewel That Was Ours by Colin Dexter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Another wonderful mystery by Colin Dexter involving Inspector Morse, Lewis, Oxford and a string of suspects. This one with a more readable offshoots that might, or might not have something to do with the central mystery.
I like the usually setup for the mystery and how Morse, Lewis and all try to work out clues. As usual, great characters. The series of crimes that occurs also enhances the story as Dexter intermingles the situations involving all and the crimes and what is the truth. Lots and lots of guessing can be done by the reader, though the ending is likely to escape you.
One complaint would be Dexter’s depiction of Americans, which he didn’t have a good handle of involving the dialogue.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 8 out of ten points.
