Colin Dexter. The Riddle of the Third Mile (1983)
Colin Dexter. The Riddle of the Third Mile (1983) A headless torso, academic hatreds, sleazy Soho massage parlours, and revenge for ancient slights fuel this investigation by Morse and Lewis. Well done as usual, although the puzzle creaks a bit. This book was one of the early TV episodes, and worked very well in that medium. Dexter’s sense of evil is almost as acute as Ruth Rendell’s. **½ (2004)
