A review by ruthiella
Death Is Now My Neighbor by Colin Dexter
3.0
“And suddenly Lewis felt very happy that he was back in harness with this arrogant, ungracious, vulnerable, lovable man with whom he had worked so closely for so many years”
“Some people took little or no mental exercise except that of jumping to conclusions; while Morse was a man who took excessive mental exercise and who still jumped to dubious conclusions”
Death is Now My Neighbor is the penultimate book in the Inspector Morse series and the one where Morse’s first name is finally revealed to the reader. Other than that, I don’t have much to add. It is a classic Morse/Lewis mystery where their synergy ultimately solves the mystery and gives the book its unique flavor. Morse is still a hard drinking, classical music loving, porn sniffing perv, however.
