The 2nd Inspector Morse Omnibus

Colin Dexter

The Secret Of Annexe 3 'Morse sought to hide his disappointment. So many people in the Haworth Hotel that fatal evening had been wearing some sort of disguise - a change of dress, a change of make-up, a change of partner, a change of attitude, a change of life almost: and the man who had died had been the most consummate artist of them all...' Chief inspector Morse seldom allowed himself to be caught up in New Year celebrations. So the murder inquiry in the festive hotel had a certain appeal. It was a crime worthy of the season. The corpse was still in fancy dress. And hardly a single guest at the Haworth had registered under a genuine name...   The Riddle Of The Third Mile `THE THOUGHT SUDDENLY OCCURRED TO MORSE THAT THIS WOULD BE A MARVELLOUS TIME TO MURDER A FEW OF THE DODDERY OLD BACHELOR DONS. NO WIVES TO WORRY ABOUT THEIR WHEREABOUTS; NO LANDLADIES TO WHINE ABOUT THE UNPAID RENTS. IN FACT NOBODY WOULD MISS MOST OF THEM AT ALL....` BY THE 16TH OF JULY THE MASTER OF LONSDALE WAS CONCERNED, BUT NOT YET WORRIED. DR BROWNE-SMITH HAD PASSED THROUGH THE PORTER`S LODGE AT APPROXIMATELY 8.15A.M. ON THE MORNING OF FRIDAY, 11TH JULY. AND NOBODY HAD HEARD FROM HIM SINCE. PLENTY OF TIME TO DISAPPEAR, THOUGHT MORSE. AND PLENTY OF TIME, TOO,FOR SOMEONE TO COMMIT MURDER...   Last Seen Wearing Inspector Morse is perplexed when a letter of reassurance arrives from young Valerie Taylor, missing for more than two years and presumed dead, in a case that takes a bizarre turn when a mysterious body turns up. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - THIS BOOK IS IN GOOD USED CONDITION Has some wear to cover
