    About this audiobook

    Morse had never ceased to wonder why, with the staggering advances in medical science, all pronouncements concerning times of death seemed so disconcertingly vague.

    The newly appointed member of the Oxford Examinations Syndicate was deaf, provincial and gifted. Now he is dead...

    And his murder, in his north Oxford home, proves to be the start of a formidably labyrinthine case for Chief Inspector Morse, as he tries to track down the killer through the insular and bitchy world of the Oxford Colleges...

      Loved it on many fronts - a look inside the life of deafness afflicted people, More's thinking approach, the enormously likeable Lewis & More's appreciation of that fact. Definitely a re-read for me !
    • 3/5
      A bit messy. There is too many characters and there were times where it seemed like the author himself has lost the track of everything that has happened.
    • 3/5
      The plot for this one is very convoluted and twisted.
