Last Bus to Woodstock Summary

Last Bus to Woodstock by Colin Dexter

The first intriguing case that began Colin Dexters phenomenally successful Inspector Morse series.

Do you think I'm wasting your time, Lewis?
Lewis was nobodys fool and was a man of some honesty and integrity.
Yes, sir.
An engaging smile crept across Morses mouth. He thought they could get on well together . . .

The death of Sylvia Kaye figured dramatically in Thursday afternoons edition of the Oxford Mail. By Friday evening, Inspector Morse had informed the nation that the police were looking for a dangerous man.

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.

Last Bus to Woodstock Reviews

Traditional crime writing at its best; the kind of book without which no armchair is complete * The Sunday Times *
No one constructs a whodunit with more fiendish skill than Colin Dexter * The Guardian *
Dexter has created a giant among fictional detectives * The Times *
The writing is highly intelligent, the atmosphere melancholy, the effect haunting * The Daily Telegraph *
[Morse is] the most prickly, conceited and genuinely brilliant detective since Hercule Poirot * New York Times Book Review *

About Colin Dexter

Colin Dexter graduated from Cambridge University in 1953 and moved to Oxford in 1966, where he lived until his death in 2017. His first novel, Last Bus to Woodstock, was published in 1975. There are now thirteen novels in the series, of which The Remorseful Day is, sadly, the last. He won many awards for his novels, including the CWA Silver Dagger twice, and the CWA Gold Dagger for The Wench is Dead and The Way Through the Woods. In 1997 he was presented with the CWA Diamond Dagger for outstanding services to crime literature, and in 2000 was awarded the OBE in the Queens Birthday Honours List. The Inspector Morse novels have been adapted for the small screen with huge success by Carlton/Central Television, starring John Thaw and Kevin Whately. Spin-offs from Dexters much-loved novels also include the popular series, Lewis, featuring Morses former sergeant, Robbie Lewis, and Endeavour, a prequel starring the young Endeavour Morse.
