That sadness is shared by Kevin Whately, who plays Morse's long-suffering assistant, Sergeant Lewis, and admits that he never expects to enjoy another assignment as much. The documentary proudly notes that the Morse series has been seen by 85 percent of the British population and has had a total worldwide audience of a billion viewers.

So why end it now? The answer, such as it is, comes from Colin Dexter, who created Morse and sent him trailing all those evildoers in a string of novels and who has a Hitchcockian walk-on in each of the television films.

The Remorseful Day

Dexter says with a scampish grin. A few more will succumb in tonight's mystery, which finds the inspector seriously ill and just weeks from retirement. Ignoring the advice of his doctor to stop drinking and of his boss, Chief Superintendent Strange James Grout , to take it easy, Morse plunges into the task of revisiting an unsolved case that is reopened by an anonymous letter implicating a man about to be released from prison. The plot, filled with the usual serpentine twists and all-too-flawed characters, casts a tantalizing bit of light on Morse's personal life.

Though he is facing the ultimate deadline, Morse uses his superior intelligence to sort things out.

But guessing whodunit has never been the point with Morse's cases. After a couple of murders, he perks up, especially when he successfully hijacks Lewis's investigations. It is an appropriately old-fashioned intrigue.

The picturesque Oxford village life it depicts is simmering with tensions of class and sex. A woman who is partial to a bit of "kinky rumpy-pumpy", as Lewis puts it, is bumped off. Everyone is drawn in: from a grey-haired PR smoothie to a bored village youth, who circles around the village on his BMX bike smoking dope. There is also a splendid turn by former Eldorado star Jesse Birdsall as a local builder with an eye for the ladies. Morse's death, when it comes, is not as Hollywood as Morse's makers appeared to threaten after they said they had drawn out the low-key end penned by Morse's creator Colin Dexter.

The chief inspector's fatal heart attack occurs in a hugely appropriate setting, against the dramatic soaring of some of his favourite choral music. Strange is revealed to be an essential component part in the plot; both the plot of the murder story, and the subplot of Morse's life. We follow developments in the story by means of various characters; Paddy Flynn, a cab driver, Frank Harrison, a rich businessman who is the widower of the first victim, his son Simon and also his daughter, Sarah, who happens to be one of Morse's doctors.

In this novel, he has Morse write a long account, almost a letter, giving a detailed explanation for everything, "just in case something happened; just in case no one would be aware of the sweetly logical solution that had formulated itself in his mind that day.

This was Dexters last novel in his Inspector Morse series of detective tales, and, likely, one of his best. Back when the case was fresh, the husband, a successful executive in the City for a bank, was the first obvious suspect. The murdered woman, a nurse at the local hospital, was known for her randy spirit and her extramarital adventures. Morse was not on the original case. This was Dexters thirteenth adventure for Morse.

Inspector Morse

One of the best of all the Morse series as it really explores the relationship of Morse and Lewis and Strange. It's how the ends ties up and Morse's genuine care for Lewis that make this book stand out. Further, despite refusing to tackle the case, Morse does seem to be investigating it privately. And, of course, his meddling in the investigation and manipulation of evidence if it truly has occurred as Lewis suspects is the kind of behaviour Morse has deplored in other policemen and agencies throughout his long life of service.

Lewis is desperate to solve the case and to prove to himself and to Morse that he is capable of brilliant detection like his long-time boss.

How Morse met his maker

Despite reading the last book first, I cannot wait to go back and read the other cases of Inspector Endeavour Morse. He quotes all the greats: Shakespeare, Keats, A. As with Morse, Dexter makes a cameo appearance in several episodes.
