Summary: Morse is OK, but Dr. Watson shines.
Review: Fans of Dexter's Inspector Morse series will probably be a little disappointed by this book, since only five of the ten collected stories actually have the cantankerous Thames Valley detective, and with a few exception those stories tend to be the shorter entries of the batch. But still, this is a very readable collection of mysteries and other crime stories, one which as a whole tends to lean more toward the light-hearted rather than the serious. Probably the high point of the collection is not a Morse story but a Sherlock Holmes tale, in which the perrenially overshadowed Dr. Watson finally gets a little bit of recognition. Overall not a stellar collection, but easily an enjoyable lazy afternoon's read.

Summary: Oh, now...
Review: Oh, now! It's not so bad! Don't you listen to 'em. Bunch of filthy liars. But, everyone's entitled to their own opinion. I for one think it a good read. I mean of course it's not like the books; this is just a bit of fun. Some anecdotes with Morse and others. The stories are well-written... adequate anyway...

Summary: Great expectations poorly expressed.
Review: This collection is definitely not Dexter at his best. The book reads like the sort of thing he does when he is thoroughly bored and has nothing better to do. If you must insist upon reading it borrow the book from your local library. It is a good way to catch Morse on one of his off days.
