Summary

Last Seen Wearing is the second Inspector Morse novel in Colin Dexter's Oxford-set detective series.

After leaving home to return to school, teenager Valerie Taylor had completely vanished, and the trail had gone cold.

Until two years, three months and two days after Valerie's disappearance, somebody decides to supply some surprising new evidence for the case and it's up to Morse to solve this curious case.

Last Seen Wearing is followed by the third Inspector Morse book, The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn.

Excellent

Samuel West’s narration was perfect The story kept me listening to the end. I loved the Morse series on tv, but this audiobook is even better..
My only gripe is that I really dislike literary quotes at the beginning of each chapter. When reading a book I skip them but with an audiobook you have no choice and it breaks the thread of the story. Unfortunately so many authors are doing this. Nevertheless I will continue to get more from the series.

Brilliant

Brilliantly read by Samuel West, the book exposes the flawed, convoluted mind of Morse and the more straightforward but by no means stupid Lewis.

Odious Morse

The plot is needlessly complicated, quite chaotic, and Morse is a sexist misogynist relic from days we are glad to have grown out of.

The finest fictional detective

There's nothing quite so enjoyable as a Morse. Beautifully written, intricately plotted and deftly tied up, this series is the pinnacle of the detective novel.

can't quite belive these books are still in publication

very weak meandering story line and a rather tedious book, but more than that, I believe the author was at some point a teacher. I very much hope he was never allowed anywhere near teenage girls. One could argue that most men of his generation were misogynistic, however his irrelevant but extraordinary and childish obsession with the female anatomy and sex, makes me think he was either deeply repressed or a pervert, and my sympathy goes to any girl or woman who would have had the misfortune of meeting this unpleasant little man.
