I’ve heard of Inspector Morse but have to confess I’ve never read any of the books or seen any of the programs, so reading the last in a series is probably not the place to start! That said I didn’t feel at all that I had missed out on anything, the book stands well on its own. The mystery is complicated enough for me not to guess who done it which is always a good thing. I would certainly read more if they were to cross my path.

As an end to the series it was very sweet and touching but as a mystery in its own right it was one of the weakest in the series.

The Remorseful Day is a book I have been putting off reading because it is the final book in the Inspector Morse series and I am sad to see the series done. There was definitely a sense of an ending throughout the book and it was a well done send off to a beloved character. I would definitely say that you need to be a reader of the series and invested in the characters before reading this one, as everyone comes full circle here with Strange, Lewis and Morse having their arcs. Great mystery in a great series, I’m sorry that it has ended.

I've tended to enjoy Inspector Morse novels but unfortunately couldn't get away with the opening chapters of this one so didn't complete it, although was disappointed I didn't, knowing this was the one book that is poignant in Morse's life.

The final Morse novel. It was bittersweet. Like Sargent Lewis, I will miss the old pervy bastard. The mystery, an unsolved murder of a sexy nurse is put back on the front burner when new facts come to light and Morse takes the case. I think it is great that Dexter was able to bow out of this series on a high note.

The last in the series for Morse. I have to say the reason I read and watched this series is because of Lewis but Morse himself always annoyed me constantly guessing who had done it and being so sure then changing his mind and Lewis always seemed to be the voice of caution not quite so ready to rush in which is probably why I enjoy the TV series Lewis so much more. I think we could all see the writing on the wall with Morse and that it was going to end this way to me it seemed he committed suicide deliberately taking no action to rectify his health problems he was a bright guy he knew what the inevitable would be which I found very sad and depressing. The investigation is the pretty standard convoluted confusing list of characters who all interconnect leading to the bad decisions they make resulting in disaster for everyone concerned! Not my favourite detective.
