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.

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.

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.

I love Insp Morse but the language has become date

Insp Morse and Sgt Lewis are fabulous characters. But there are now moments when the dated language make me cringe.

Twisty Turny Tale

This Morse definitely keeps the reader guessing. Lots of threads ; neatly woven. Morse, a balding smoker who is losing teeth is nevertheless irresistible to young women (as per) that aside - a good tale.
