Reader Reviews Morse is OK, but Dr. Watson shines., March 14, 2003 Reviewer: Douglas B. Killings from Chicago, IL United States 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. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition
