By the 16th of July, the Master of Lonsdale was concerned but not yet worried. Dr Browne-Smith had passed through the porter's lodge at approximately 8:15 a.m. on the morning of Friday, 11th July. And nobody had heard from him since. Plenty of time to disappear, thought Morse. And plenty of time, too, for someone to commit murder....

For Oxford, the arrival of 27 American tourists is nothing out of the ordinary...until one of their number is found dead in Room 310 at the Randolph Hotel. It looks like a sudden - and tragic - accident. Only Chief Inspector Morse appears not to overlook the simultaneous theft of a jewel-encrusted antique from the victim's handbag.... Then, two days later, a naked and battered corpse is dragged from the River Cherwell. A coincidence? Maybe. But this time Morse is determined to prove the link....

The murder of Yvonne Harrison had left Thames Valley CID baffled. A year after the dreadful crime they are still no nearer to making an arrest. But one man has yet to tackle the case - and it is just the sort of puzzle at which Chief Inspector Morse excels. So why is he adamant that he will not lead the re-investigation, despite the entreaties of Chief Superintendent Strange and dark hints of some new evidence? And why, if he refuses to take on the case officially, does he seem to be carrying out his own private enquiries?

A few could still recall the murderer's suicide. Now even the police had closed the case.

Elderly PI

Publisher's Summary
Morse sought to hide his disappointment. So many people in the Haworth Hotel that fateful evening had been wearing some sort of disguise - a change of dress, a change of makeup, a change of partner, a change of attitude, a change of life almost; and the man who had died had been the most consummate artist of them all....
Chief Inspector Morse seldom allowed himself to be caught up in New Year celebrations. So the murder inquiry in the festive hotel had a certain appeal.
It was a crime worthy of the season.
The corpse was still in fancy dress. And hardly a single guest at the Haworth had registered under a genuine name....

Enjoying this series again
I am enjoying this series again and Samuel West's narration fits like a glove. In the course of a New Year's Eve murder investigation Morse discovers no-one involved is who or what they seem and everyone has secrets. Once again Colin Dexter has written a mystery full of unexpected twists and turns that kept me interested to the end. A topi tier place in my library.

Hogmanay masquerade without good will
Postwar murder stories are more varied than the “Golden Age” stuff, when it’s always about inheritance (or foreigners). The fancy dress party is, however, a recurring trope in whodunnits. (Indeed, mistaken identity and disguise is a dramatic device as old as time, from Esau and Isaac on.) Oxford residents seem to have an attraction to jumping off church towers, and admittedly they have a wide choice, but, for heavens’ sake, there are easier and less vindictive methods of arranging that inevitable rendezvous with your Maker. I am very fond of Max, the pathologist who has a kyphoscoliosis, who quite properly refuses to be bullied by Morse, or anyone else, into making dogmatic statements that are unwarranted. He’s more than a match for Morse, who would be likely to skive off post-mortems he ought to attend. It’s always easy to locate these novels in time by the cars - Metro, Maestro, Mini - names recalling the local Cowley industry, before Thatcher destroyed British manufacturing. I can’t understand Morse’s enthusiasm for blended whisky (“cooking whisky”), Bell’s is acceptable in Black Bun; he thinks Glenfiddich is great stuff - he needs to get out more!

Don't waste a credit on this one.
This book made me realise how hard the Inspector Morse TV writers must have had to work. The writing is dreadful (not to mention racist and pathetically sexist, dinosaur territory) and even more annoyingly the plot is appallingly ill thought out and risible. Morse's and Lewis's alleged deductions are implausible and crass. If this had been a physical book I might even have hurled it at the wall. Don't waste a credit on this drivel.

Pity .
It’s a pity that with an author that was as pedantic as Colin Dexter , who , was so consumed with the English language , managed to get stuck with a narrator who continually mispronounced the word suppose, it is not spelled sposed and should not be pronounced as such .

Sexist, racist and mind numbingly dull.
I have to keep going back to re-listen as its so boring and rambling I can't help zoning out every few minutes. The sexism and racism are really hard to swallow- even 19th century male authors managed to be more enlightened. Story wise, they seem to have found the culprit but there are still 2 hours of this interminable punishment to go so god knows where this is going.
