Review
"Curtains for DCI Morse, laid to rest by his author after a brilliant best-selling career. A good way to go....Excellent detective work; real, perfectly relayed regret over the great man's passing."
Review
"Morse is laid to rest gracefully, though many a reader will join Lewis in his tearful farewell to one of the most original, endearing, and consistently rewarding detective series."
Review
"When it comes time for a great detective to pack up and go, he deserves a decent elegy, and that's what Colin Dexter has given Inspector Morse in THE REMORSEFUL DAY, the 13th and final book in a series that raised the bar for genre writing. Not since Nero Wolfe has a detective of Morse's ratiocinative skills, refined tastes and tetchy temperament held court in such magisterial fashion."
Review
"As befits a series set in Oxford, Dexter's books are ripe with quotes not only from Yeats but from Shakespeare (a lovely and most apt joke about a ladder), A.E. Houseman (the titular 'remorseful day,' another perfect pun), and comedian Rita Rudner. The stew, as we've come to expect from Chez Dexter, is rich and meaty; the herrings (clues planted to lead us in false directions) are perhaps redder than ever but still not outrageous enough to spoil the surprise out of the outcome. Morse is dead: Long live Morse."
