  <default-description>&quot;[Morse is] the most prickly, conceited, and genuinely brilliant detective since Hercule Poirot.&quot;&lt;br&gt;--The New York Times Book Review&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Inspector Morse isn't sure what to make of the truncated body found dumped in the Oxford Canal, but he suspects it may be all that's left of an elderly Oxford don last seen boarding the London train several days before. Whatever the truth, the inspector knows it won't be simple--it never is. As he retraces Professor Browne-Smith's route through a London netherworld of topless bars and fancy bordellos, his forebodings are fulfilled. The evidence mounts; so do the bodies. So Morse downs another pint, unleashes his pit bull instincts, and solves a mystery that defies all logic.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;[Dexter] is a magician with character, story construction, and the English language. . . . Colin Dexter and Morse are treasures of the genre.&quot;&lt;br&gt;--Mystery News&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;It is a delight to watch this brilliant, quirky man deduce.&quot;&lt;br&gt;--Minneapolis Star &amp; Tribune</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[The novel was very good up to the last 30 to 40 pages. The characters were very engaging and I was keen on figuring out the mystery. Then Dexter introduces too many last minute twists and inferences. It seemed like he just wanted to end the story and pushed Morse (the detective) to a lot of assumpti...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51314956">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Not the best in the series.  Inspector Morse always has a multitude of theories when working on a case - sometimes he is right but a lot of the time he is wrong.  This story ends with just his theory as to what actually happened - so you are left wondering, was he right this time?  ]]></body>
