A review by inquisitive_chap
Last Seen Wearing by Colin Dexter
3.0
Another good murder mystery. Another reviewer said it was a 4 star book with a 1 star ending. I think that's a bit harsh but the ending is unfulfilling. Unusually, the big reveal is only a partial reveal. There's gaps one has to fill in oneself. I suppose that makes it quirky and different. But even the motive of the killer is not entirely clear (at least to me).
There's a few too many dead ends explored, a few too many twists and turns.
That said, it's brilliantly written and engaging. One has to remember it was a book written in the 70s/80s. The language used to describe Morse's view of women is of that time.
But a solid novel
