I'm really enjoying the writing and detail of these classic mysteries. Beware though that they were written in a time when attitudes about women, gender, and sexual violence were different, perhaps "antiquated" (though maybe not as different as we wish they were). Maybe start with another in the series and save this for later.

A great beginning to a stellar series. It's interesting to read Morse and Lewis meet for the first time and see their partnership develop over the course of a case. I felt bad for Morse's love life at the end - poor Chief Inspector!
