Summary
Morse sought to hide his disappointment. So many people in the Haworth Hotel that fateful evening had been wearing some sort of disguise - a change of dress, a change of makeup, 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....

A mellow, realistic story
Dexter’s characters are real people. He weaves the story with lots of twists and turns. The detectives have vulnerabilities. A real page-turner.

Pity .
It’s a pity that with an author that was as pedantic as Colin Dexter , who , was so consumed with the English language , managed to get stuck with a narrator who continually mispronounced the word suppose, it is not spelled sposed and should not be pronounced as such .

Great narration & story
A gentle and soothing crime novel that involved me throughout. I was not familiar with this particular Morse book, and it was a great discovery. Thank you, Audible.

Hogmanay masquerade without good will
Postwar murder stories are more varied than the “Golden Age” stuff, when it’s always about inheritance (or foreigners).
The fancy dress party is, however, a recurring trope in whodunnits. (Indeed, mistaken identity and disguise is a dramatic device as old as time, from Esau and Isaac on.)
Oxford residents seem to have an attraction to jumping off church towers, and admittedly they have a wide choice, but, for heavens’ sake, there are easier and less vindictive methods of arranging that inevitable rendezvous with your Maker.
I am very fond of Max, the pathologist who has a kyphoscoliosis, who quite properly refuses to be bullied by Morse, or anyone else, into making dogmatic statements that are unwarranted. He’s more than a match for Morse, who would be likely to skive off post-mortems he ought to attend.
It’s always easy to locate these novels in time by the cars - Metro, Maestro, Mini - names recalling the local Cowley industry, before Thatcher destroyed British manufacturing.
I can’t understand Morse’s enthusiasm for blended whisky (“cooking whisky”), Bell’s is acceptable in Black Bun; he thinks Glenfiddich is great stuff - he needs to get out more!

Complicated story
Plot was not fully explained and new character introduced in last few minutes. who assisted in the murder. . Nonetheless a nice listen. I love Morse. The reader of the Morse books is exceptional.

Samuel West’s narration.
His range and modulation, enabling one to envisage all the characters separately and most probably as the author meant them.

Wired story
Not happy at how the book ended. There was lots left unanswered. Story was very muddled at times.

Don't waste a credit on this one.
This book made me realise how hard the Inspector Morse TV writers must have had to work. The writing is dreadful (not to mention racist and pathetically sexist, dinosaur territory) and even more annoyingly the plot is appallingly ill thought out and risible. Morse's and Lewis's alleged deductions are implausible and crass. If this had been a physical book I might even have hurled it at the wall. Don't waste a credit on this drivel.
