The Daughters of Cain (Abridged) Audiobook

" Interesting characters you pretty much know who has done one of the murders but it is a matter of how all the threads tie together that makes it interesting. Morse's ill health is becoming more and more evident and it is almost like he doesn't care he makes no or little effort to improve his health like he has a death wish which is actually quite sad to read. I have never found Morse a particularly likeable character but then I think he pretty much doesn't care what any one thinks of him. To be honest if anyone asked what detective novels to read Inspector Morse wouldn't be one of those I would recommend. I am reading them because I enjoyed the TV show for so long so have wanted to read them just to say I have. But I would say you are better off reading DCI Banks which I find more enjoyable. "

" I did't finish the book, because it was so boring. "

" I think the Morse novels have improved as the series goes along. Morse is not as obnoxious as he was originally. "

" The one with the three women the abusive man and the schoolboy who'll do anything for a legover... featuring another appearance from the destructive young Jason "

" listened to this. Good plot, well narrated. "

" This stands for all of the Inspector Morse mysteries. In the heat of the summer when you've read everything by PD James, you turn to Dexter for nice bite sized chunks of fun reading. "

" The rate of mortality-by-homicide for Oxford dons must be shockingly high. At least it is in Colin Dexter's Oxford. Yet another don is murdered in "Daughters of Cain," but it's a second murder that really captures Chief Inspector Morse's interest. As usual, his amorous interest also is piqued. Morse mysteries are always fun, if only for Morse's irascible personality and the cascade of cultural reference -- in this case, everything from Richard Wagner to Shakespeare to the Bible to the poetry of Ernest Dowson. But this particular Morse mystery is relatively unsatisfying. Anyway, Morse is only my second-favorite Oxford detective. I'm turning now to my favorite: Edmund Crispin's Gervase Fen. "

" One of the very best detective writers. "

" Inspector Morse and Lewis. 3 women aid in getting rid of an abusive husband. "

" Sorry. Lorena Bobbitt is not a folk hero to some of us. "

" Liked the book more as I read more. Helps when you know the characters. "

" I read it some years ago. I love the Inspector Morse mysteries "

" A really grim story involving three unfortunate women and two murders; one whom really deserved being murdered. Chief Inspector Morse and Sergeant Lewis take over a murder case from another chief inspector in Oxford and slowly unravel what happened. There's an interesting case of character. "

" clever, as usual. Guy's a little spooky. "

" An Inspector Morse book. Characters are interestingly drawn, including the rather tactless yet erudite and insightful Morse. Determination of the who-dunnit is too dependent on sudden insights by Morse for my taste, but characters will probably lead me to read another of these at some point. "

" Erudite, entertaining, interesting. What more need be said? "

" Inspector Morse and crimes of the heart; again, I found him more annoying than otherwise. "

" Good. Slow. Dexter's Morse is interesting to read. "

" I liked the PBS series Morse, but the books are so much more intriguing and complicated. Fun to have the faces to put to the characters. The drinking and cigarettes drove me crazy. "

" Inspector Morse novel. Very good twisting mystery. But English slang is a bit difficult. "

" There were interesting twists in the plot of this murder mystery set in Oxford and thereabouts. An English major could better appreciate the occasional scholarly references. Apparently there are more "Inspector Morse mysteries..." "

" I really wanted to love Colin Dexter. Instead I found I got about as much satisfaction out of the book as the PBS TV show "Inspector Lewis". It just took a lot longer. Perhaps murder mystery just isn't my genre. "

" This the next to beswt in the series following The Remorseful Day. The humor is wonderful and he has the perfect quotation for each chapter. "

" I liked the interactions between Lewis and Morse in this one. I'm sad that there are only two more books left in this series. "

" What a pleasure to read! The story in itself was not a big, complicated one, but it was written so well. I'd read this before but still this was a great read. "

" Inspector Morse and Sergeant Lewis do it again--twice! Two more solved murders under their belts. Each Inspector Morse novel provides a further glimpse into the minds (and souls) of these brilliant sleuths, and The Daughters of Cain is no exception. "

" Good. Slow. Dexter's Morse is interesting to read. "

" Inspector Morse mystery.Adding to the pleasure of the mystery, each chapter begins with a quotation from a wide range of sources (many classical and even Latin) -- each quotation suits the contents of the chapter and sometimes plays a role in the chapter. "

" Erudite, entertaining, interesting. What more need be said? "
