Yes, I mentioned this on another post, RIP Colin Dexter, I loved his stories !
R.i.p inspector morse is perhaps one of my best loved detective characters (especially John thaw's inspector morse as he quintessentially was what I had imagined morse to be and look like) I am sad but I have the complete set of his books to cherish and read again and again.

Morse is one of the characters that pretty much any crime/mystery reader knows, and you're right -- he is John Thaw!
Thank you for posting, I hadn't seen the news...Thanks for the good times, Mr. Dexter, and may you join Insp. Morse in a peaceful resting place.
What a fantastic age, I love Morse
I feel the same kind of sadness that I felt reading The Remorseful Day. Such a sense of loss.
His 12 books spawned a successful TV series and 2 spin-offs. By all reports, he was a lovely man. The missus and I always tried to find him during his cameos on the various series.
Rest in Peace, Colin Dexter, and thank you for giving us Inspector Morse...
RIP Colin Dexter. I love the Inspector Morse books and TV shows.

You know, I never did watch that last DVD ... "The Remorseful Day." Just can't do it.

I totally understand, but just remember Morse lives on in Endeavour and Inspector Lewis.. :)

I know, but believe it or not, I'm a sensitive sort of person and it would be awful for me. I know it's just fiction, but still. :)
It's not easy to watch Nancy - but it's worth it. It was such a fitting end.
It's understandable, Nancy, when you get invested with an excellent character, you want it to continue. But it is still an excellent touching episode.

I know. I did the same with the last episode of the Swedish version of Wallander -- just couldn't do it, knowing what comes next.

Another great series...
I was a huge fan of the tv show and read all Inspector Morse novels...

I don't have TV, but I occasionally glimpsed at a few episodes at my sister's and enjoyed them, buuuuut I really, really loved John Thaw :)

He was great. His daughter and also his wife have appeared on Endeavour. In fact his daughter is a regular.
