3.0
I don't really know what to make of this book. I found it a little tedious and confusing to read. I don't know if that is beacuse I didn't like the style it was written in or just because it was written before I was born (old fashioned?). It did keep me guessing a little, as I read it all. But over all I was left disapointed. No surprised that I plan to release it. Hope the next reader enjoys it more than me.

Went back to read this again after watching the BBC episode. Lots of differences between the two - the book much more subtle than the TV version. Not the best Morse, but well worth reading. The value is less in the plot than all the subtle details...

I have seen a couple of the PBS Inspector Morse episodes and liked them, so I snatched up three when I saw them in the used bookstore. In contrast to that Above Suspicion trash, this was a fun, intelligent read. I'll read the other two I found and look for others, as well.
