His accepting approach to each character's unique traits and weaknesses makes his stories come alive with pithy observations of people and life. I also appreciate his willingness to add the occasional "forgotten" or "neglected" word and bring in back into use to stimulate our vocabulary skills, while we dust of dictionaries to understand Dexter's subtle meanings.This early volume in the series adds some important character development for both Morse and Lewis, supporting well their actions and motives in later books in the series.I find this plot and storyline especially endearing because if how it illustrates the human weaknesses in Morse's analytical genius. The believable tale is well told, and I found myself refreshed and energized after reading it.I had seen the BBC version of this book but found the added book details more complete and enjoyable, even though the TV version was a fair and generally accurate adaptation. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Dead of Jericho is another Inspector Morse police proceduaral novel which will keep you guessing until the end of the case *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2012* Do you like your detective fiction to be:a. Very literate in style with brainy quotations at the beginning of each chapter?b. Complex plots and three dimensional characters to investigate?c.A quirky, briliant and classical music loving loser with women who is the star of the police department? Think Inspector Morse?d. A fast moving plot which produces many red herrings and a plot which uses Sophocles Oedipus Rex story as a paradigm for the soliving of the nettlesome case? If your answer to any or all of the above questions is "YES" then you are an excellent candidate to become hooked on the Colin Dexter Inspector Morse novels. The Plot of "The Dead of Jericho". Bachelor Inspector Morse is a melancholy man who has never been married. At an Oxford Party he meets the fetching Anne Scott. He will later investigate a suicide case in which Anne is found hanging dead by a rope in her kitchen? Why did she kill herself? What is murder? Later a murder victim will be found bludgened to death in his seedy apartment. How are the crimes connected if at all? What about Anne's past?

These tales which have been seen by millions of viewers on PBS's Masterpiece Mystery are even better in print. Enjoy this fine entry in the series and you will read them all! Recommended for a light and mind challenging read! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dexter always writes a good book *by J***3 on Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2016* This is not my favorite Inspector Morse, but as always, the writing is terrific and it's a good story. I'm not sure "dark" is the descriptor needed, and really, I think the presentation of a string of adjectives is not quite the thing for reviewing a fairly complex book... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/22315896-dead-of-jericho-inspector-morse](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/22315896-dead-of-jericho-inspector-morse) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
