Title: Sex (a little) but no car chases..
Review: Book loaned by a friend who noted that I was a John Mortimer/Rumpole fan and who thought I might enjoy Inspector Morse. I am sure there is some grist there and other reviews are probably more valid than mine owing to my decidedly pedestrian tastes.The book started out with an interesting premise (but don't all mysteries?) but quickly wound its way onto a labyrinth of side plots, sub-narratives, and entanglements with, frankly no redeeming steamy sex (except when Morse and Lewis visit the strip tease show) or car chases to revive my interest.Our poor old C.I. Morse even makes several self-admitted blunders as he stumbles into the mystery's resolution.Mr. Dexter is a very good writer; I am just a very poor reader....short attention span and all that.
Is the review positive or negative?
