“We were always near the end.”
For a year, the murder of Yvonne Harrison at her home in the Cotswold village of Lower Swinstead has baffled the Thames Valley CID. 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 reinvestigation, despite two anonymous phone calls that hint at new evidence? And why, if he refuses to take on the case officially, does he seem to be carrying out his own private inquiries?
When Sergeant Lewis learns that Morse was once friendly with Yvonne Harrison, he begins to suspect that the man who has earned his admiration, and exasperation, over so many years knows more about her death than he is letting on. When Morse finally does take over, the investigation leads down highways and byways that are disturbing to all concerned.
And then there is that final twist!
The Remorse-ful Day, Colin Dexter’s last full-length novel and the last in the Inspector Morse series, is full of the wonderful, unique touches that characterize Colin Dexter’s novels. There is the brilliant, cranky Morse, the stubborn Sergeant Lewis, determined to best his boss at his own game, and of course, the lovingly described town of Oxford, where grand colleges and old traditions are confronted by the new and the nasty. And throughout, there is today’s world, as seen by Chief Inspector Morse.
Read Alikes for The Remorse-ful Day: Other books in the Inspector Morse series by Colin Dexter; The Dalziel and Pascoe series by Reginald Hill; the Armand Gamache series by Louise Penny; the Inspector Wexford series by Ruth Rendell
