"My first introduction to the world of Morse and it is wonderful. Very humorous and clever - and I love the characters Morse and Lewis, natch. Even the non-Morse stories were really good (especially the one with Sherlock Holmes). I'm really going to have to hunt down the rest of the series now! " — Sarah (5 out of 5 stars)

" A nice collection. I would certainly read an Inspector Morse, or, maybe more likely, watch one of the TV show episodes. "

" Several short stories by Colin Dexter only some of which are Morse and Lewis stories. Many of the stories have a whimsical tone. If you are serious Morse fan than this anthology probably isn't for you. "
" A nice light read on audio while resting. Short stories with old friends Morse and Lewis solving some intriguing mysteries against the backdrop of Oxford. "
" Good Stuff. Short stories, some better than others, but all enjoyable. "
" I loved all Morse books so far but I was disappointed with this one. They did not have that unique atmosphere. In my opinion writer did not succeed with genre of short story. I would certainly read his novels and try to forget it. "
" I thought it was a good idea to read this collection of short stories, some with Morse as the protagonist, before he was killed off in two more books. I was happy with that decision. The stories were exceptional. I stayed involved. "
" Excellent short stories. Only a couple that I didn't enjoy, but the others were enjoyable and quick read. "
" A good mix of light-hearted stories. Some Morse some not. The prison escape was my favourite with 'Last Call' another enjoyable read. Well worth a re-read at some future stage. Highly recommended "
" A nice diversion for Morse fans! "
" Have always enjoyed Colin Dexter's writing and character, Morse. Was sorry when he, Morse, died, although his whimsies carry on with his Sargent. "
Colin Dexter lives in Oxford. He has won many Crime Writers’ Association awards for his novels and in 1997 was presented with the Cartier Diamond Dagger for outstanding services to crime literature. His story “Evans Tries an O-Level” won the 1996 Macavity Award for Best Short Story.
