The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn by Colin Dexter

4.0

I think this is my favorite Morse so far. The mystery was solved quite neatly - I wasn't left wondering about certain points of the plot. Nicholas Quinn's body was found at his home. He'd been poisoned by cyanide. The investigation focuses on his workplace as Morse tries to determine who was the last to see him alive. When did he actually die? And what was the possible motive? The suspects are plentiful and acting suspiciously. Quinn's deafness adds another layer to the mystery, and the investigators have to rebuild the events keeping that different perspective in mind.
