Morse switched on the gramophone to 'play', and sought to switch his mind away from all the terrestrial troubles. Sometimes, this way, he almost managed to forget. But not tonight... Anne Scott's address was scribbled on a crumpled note in the pocket of Morse's smartest suit.He turned the corner of Canal Street, Jericho, on the afternoon of Wednesday, 3rd October.He hadn't planned a second visit. But he was back later the same day - as the officer in charge of a suicide investigation...

I bought this book when I was vacationing in Oxford after visiting a pub, one of my daughter‘s favourites, in Jericho.

There is a lot of love for Morse in Oxford! The photo is from the Morse Pub @Librarybelle the Randolph Hotel where Colin Dexter did some of his writing.

This is my small book haul from my trip to Oxford, UK.

I had to get the Colin Dexter book after visiting the Morse Pub. The bookstore was not far from Jericho and the bookseller said he disliked reading the Morse mysteries because they felt too close to home! 😂

CarolynM Great haul! My Mortal Enemy is wonderful. Enjoy. 2y
kwmg40 @CarolynM Glad to hear it. I'm looking forward to reading the book! 2y
BarbaraTheBibliophage If you‘re inclined to read about an alternative reality Oxford, try RF Kuang‘s excellent new book 2y

kwmg40 @BarbaraTheBibliophage Thanks for the recommendation! I had liked The Poppy War by Kuang and have been meaning to read the sequels. I‘ll add Babel to the list! 2y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @kwmg40 It‘s quite different from Poppy Wars. But as good or better! 2y
kwmg40 @BarbaraTheBibliophage Good to know. Thanks! 2y

University and work have stopped me being able to read (dull journal articles don't count!). I now have a two and bit weeks holiday and I intend to get some proper reading done. Starting with a bit of good old reliable Morse, guaranteed to entertain #holidays #couchpotato
