The Riddle of the Third Mile (Inspector Morse Mysteries, 6)

The Riddle of the Third Mile (Inspector Morse Mysteries, 6)

by Colin Dexter (Author)

Synopsis

The Riddle of the Third Mile is the sixth novel in Colin Dexter's Oxford-set detective series.

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 8.15 a.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 . . .

The Riddle of the Third Mile is followed by the seventh Inspector Morse book, The Secret of Annexe 3.
