A review by ruthiella
Jewel That Was Ours by Colin Dexter

3.0

Another convoluted Morse mystery with lots of red herrings. I can’t figure out if it is Dexter or Morse who is unhealthily obsessed with sex. Possibly both. I did find this slightly annoying since many of the characters in this title are Americans from California, and yet they all sound like total hicks, like they just fell off the turnip truck. I am probably being too sensitive! In any case, this was a solid entry in the series for those who like mysteries where the detective’s character is as important as the actual plot. Only more books to go and I will have read the whole series, excepting the short stories.
