James, The Sunday Telegraph The writing is highly intelligent, the atmosphere melancholy, the effect haunting * The Daily Telegraph * The triumph is the character of Morse * Times Literary Supplement * Colin Dexter’s superior crime-craft is enough to make lesser practitioners sick with envy * The Oxford Times * [Morse is] the most prickly, conceited and genuinely brilliant detective since Hercule Poirot * The New York Times Book Review *
