Story
The body of Joanna Franks was found at Duke's Cut on the Oxford Canal at about 5.30 a.m. on Wednesday, 22nd June 1859. At around 10.15 a.m. on a Saturday morning in 1989, the body of Chief Inspector Morse, though very much alive, was removed to Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital. As Morse begins his recovery, he comes across an account of the investigation and trial that followed Joanna Frank's death...and becomes convinced that the two men hanged for her murder were innocent.

Chief Inspector Morse was alone among the congregation in suspecting continued unrest in the quiet parish of St Frideswide's. Most people could still remember the churchwarden's murder. A few could still recall the murderer's suicide. Now even the police have closed the case - until a chance meeting among the tombstones reveals startling new evidence of a conspiracy to deceive.

They called her the Swedish Maiden: the beautiful young tourist who disappeared on a hot summer's day somewhere in North Oxford. Twelve months later, the case remained unsolved. On holiday in Lyme Regis, Chief Inspector Morse is startled to read a tantalizing article in The Times about the missing woman - an article which lures him back to Wytham Woods near Oxford...and straight into the most extraordinary murder investigation of his career.

Story
For Oxford, the arrival of 27 American tourists is nothing out of the ordinary...until one of their number is found dead in Room 310 at the Randolph Hotel. It looks like a sudden and tragic accident. Only Chief Inspector Morse appears not to overlook the simultaneous theft of a jewel-encrusted antique from the victim's handbag. Then, two days later, a naked and battered corpse is dragged from the River Cherwell. A coincidence? Maybe. But this time Morse is determined to prove the link.

Story
Chief Inspector Morse seldom allowed himself to be caught up in New Year Celebrations. So a murder inquiry in a 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.

Well done but time listed is wrong
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Nicely convoluted Oxfordian plots.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
At least happily listening on a car drive.
Which character – as performed by Kevin Whately – was your favorite?
Lewis.
Could you see Morse's Greatest Mysteries being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Kevin Whately, John Thaw(?)
Any additional comments?
This is mislabeled. It's only 2:30 long and it said it was 7+.

Indeed Greatest
Kevin Whately's delivery of Morse is so authentic that your mind's eye watches, fascinated that he's come alive. His understated Lewis is exactly as we know him on PBS!

Who is who?
Kevin Whately, long cherished as Lewis, seems a natural choice as narrator, however, I found the book difficult to follow because the characters sounded so similar. The confusion on my part meant that I rewound many a passage and still got a bit lost, unsure if it was the story or characterization. There you are... I listed to 2 Morse audiobooks... no more.

Entertaining
This is one of the few situations in which I find the television series more engaging than the books they are based on.
The Morse of these stories lacks depth or dimension. These are simply mildly entertaining stories.
I enjoy Kevin Whatley's acting, but in terms of material, he didn't have a great deal to work with here.

After loving the new series of 'Endeavour' on TV I became nostalgic for the original Morse and decided to download this. Not as satisfying as a full Morse but these short stories are enjoyable and brilliantly narrated by Kevin Whately

Not what I expected
I love Morse n Lewis but these snippets (that's what they are, extremely short snippets too) we're OK. But not great, so much so I didn't finish it.
