Product Description
"Morse is a thoroughly convincing detective, and a very humane one, too."
--The New York Times Book Review
Valerie Taylor has been missing since she was a sexy seventeen, more than two years ago. Inspector Morse is sure she's dead. But if she is, who forged the letter to her parents saying "I am alright so don't worry"? Never has a woman provided Morse with such a challenge, for each time the pieces of the jigsaw start falling into place, someone scatters them again. So Valerie remains as tantalizingly elusive as ever. Morse prefers a body--a body dead from unnatural causes. And very soon he gets
one. . . .
"You don't really know Morse until you've read him. . . . Viewers who have enjoyed British actor John Thaw as Morse in the PBS Mystery! anthology series should welcome the deeper character development in Dexter's novels."
--Chicago Sun-Times
"Fascinating . . . Very satisfying."
--Book Sellers

Pam (USA: AL) (2010/12/03):
AUTHOR: DEXTER, Colin
TITLE: Last Seen Wearing
DATE READ: 12/02/10
RATING: 4.5/B+
GENRE/PUB DATE/PUBLISHER/# OF PGS: Mystery/1976/Ballantine Books/326 pgs
SERIES/STAND ALONE: #2 Inspector Morse
TIME/PLACE: 1970's/Oxford, UK
CHARACTERS: Inspector Morse of the Thames Valley Police
FIRST LINES: Three and a half years later two men were seated together in an office.
COMMENTS: Valerie Taylor was 17 when she went missing 2 yrs ago. Another detective was working on this cold case but died in an auto accident and Morse is assigned it. He is quite dismayed not to have a homicide case but eventually finds this to be a complex mystery. He has probably thought of every scenario possible from the missing girl being alive and/or dead to various teachers and academics playing a role, along w/ her parents in either her demise or aiding in her disappearance.
