    About this audiobook

    They called her the Swedish Maiden – the beautiful young tourist who disappeared on a hot summer’s day somewhere in North Oxford. Twelve months later the case remained unsolved – pending further developments – at Thames Valley CID.

    On holiday in Lyme Regis, Chief Inspector Morse is startled to read a tantalizing article in The Times about the missing woman. An article which lures him back to Wytham Woods near Oxford… and straight into the most extraordinary murder investigation of his career.

      Enjoyed very much & it was fun listening to Kevin Whitley narrate as he was the actor playing "Lewis".
      Unusually short at 2 hours as about 8 or 9 hours the rest of the works - makes me wonder if this was a short story or a larger work compressed for some reason?
