One of my goals in 2021 is to read more. See other books I've read or listened to here.
The Daughters of Cain is the third to last book in the Inspector Morse series by Colin Dexter.
Morse is lead down a twisted path when he stumbles on a murder that has the local police stumped.
I have to be honest, this was one of the more forgettable of the Inspectory Mosrse novels that I read aound this time. I was reading them pretty close together and I have blurred them together. I do know and remember that this murder involves a scholar and mysterious artifact. And a bunch of ladies and how they come together to solve a problem. Morse is invariably smitten with at least one of them, and inevitably disappointed. Being the third to last Morse novel, there is little foreshadowing to what the end of the series will be. I like that although these novels can hit fairly predictable beats, each one does have an interesting crime and solution. I am glad that I have all the Morse novels on audio so that I can go back and reread the ones that were less stand out in my memory. I would recommend The Daughter’s of Cain to those who are working their way thru the Morse books.
Have you read this far in the series? What are your thoughts on the later books?
This book can be seen in my April Wrap Up.
