Last Bus to Woodstock

Inspector Morse Mysteries, Book 1

By: Colin Dexter

Narrated by: Samuel West

Read by Samuel West, known for his roles in Van Helsing and Notting Hill.

Last Bus to Woodstock is the novel that began Colin Dexter's phenomenally successful Inspector Morse series.

'Do you think I'm wasting your time, Lewis?'
Lewis was nobody's fool and was a man of some honesty and integrity.
'Yes, sir.'
An engaging smile crept across Morse's mouth. He thought they could get on well together . . .

The death of Sylvia Kaye figured dramatically in Thursday afternoon's edition of the Oxford Mail. By Friday evening Inspector Morse had informed the nation that the police were looking for a dangerous man – facing charges of wilful murder, sexual assault and rape.

But as the obvious leads fade into twilight and darkness, Morse becomes more and more convinced that passion holds the key . . .

Last Bus to Woodstock is followed by the second Inspector Morse book, Last Seen Wearing.

A great series from Colin Deter and well narrated

A great series from Colin Deter and well narrated by Samuel West. One investigation leads to another as they slowly become linked in unexpected ways and surprises in the plot continue right up until the end. A top tier effort.
