The good news: The Colin Dexter books about Inspector Morse are coming to the Kindle.

The bad news: The only one that will be available at present will be the last one of the 12 or 13 volume series,

where Morse dies.

Go figure.

I knew no more Inspector Morse books were going to be written, but I didn't know what your spoiler revealed.

Let me know if the rest of the series becomes available.

You read spoilers?

I accidentally read the spoiler too.

I accidentally read the spoiler too.

Me too but I have short term memory loss so I promptly forgot it. What were we talking about?

You read spoilers?

Mike

Hmm, no, of course not. I, er, just happened to be walking by when CS and Mel were discussing it ... yeah, that's what happened ... and accidentally overheard.

Anyway, that series was wrapped up 10 years ago, hasn't the spoiler status expired by now? Plus, both the author and star of the series are no longer with us.

Boy, you're just full of good news today.

 

[Mike D. aka jmiked]

Oops, I mis-spoke. Colin Dexter is still with us. John Thaw definitely isn't, though.

I really, really liked the Inspector Morse TV series.

I also liked Midsomer Murders.

I also liked Midsomer Murders.

Me, too. I went to a lot of trouble to get the behind-the-scenes book on Midsomer, and use it as a reference guisde.

I didn't like the novels quite as much as I did the TV series, though, I haven't read most of them. Same for the Inspector Lynley series.

Just to show that we're all so different, I liked the Lynley books much more than the TV series.  Havers, especially, didn't fit my mental picture from the books.

I also enjoyed the Inspector Lewis series (a spin off of the Morse series)

I've never tried the Midsomer books, but I adore the TV series.
