Story
A reluctant ex-spy with demons of her own, Elinor finds herself facing down one of the most dangerous organized crime gangs in London, ultimately exposing corruption from Scotland Yard to the highest levels of government. The private, quiet “Miss White" as Elinor is known, lives in a village in rural Kent, England, and to her fellow villagers seems something of an enigma. Well she might, as Elinor occupies a "grace and favor" property, a rare privilege offered to faithful servants of the Crown for services to the nation.

Story
England, 1920. Eleanor Swift has spent the last few years travelling the world: taking tea in China, tasting alligators in Peru, escaping bandits in Persia and she has just arrived in England after a chaotic 45-day flight from South Africa. Chipstone is about the sleepiest town you could have the misfortune to meet. But then, from the edge of a quarry, through the driving rain, Eleanor is shocked to see a man shot and killed in the distance. Before she can climb down to the spot, the villain is gone and the body has vanished.

Publisher's Summary
Last Bus to Woodstock is the novel that began Colin Dexter's phenomenally successful Inspector Morse series.
'Do you think I'm wasting your time, Lewis?'
Lewis was nobody's fool and was a man of some honesty and integrity.
'Yes, sir.'
An engaging smile crept across Morse's mouth. He thought they could get on well together....
The death of Sylvia Kaye figured dramatically in Thursday afternoon's edition of the Oxford Mail. By Friday evening Inspector Morse had informed the nation that the police were looking for a dangerous man - facing charges of willful murder, sexual assault and rape.
But as the obvious leads fade into twilight and darkness, Morse becomes more and more convinced that passion holds the key....
Last Bus to Woodstock is followed by the second Inspector Morse book, Last Seen Wearing.

Great introduction to Morse
In my experience, one can never go wrong with a Morse story, whether in print, TV or audio. The literate writing reflecting Colin Dexter's career adds a little class to the whole 'endeavor'.
Very good narration by Samuel West.

Excellent
Looking forward to the next in the series...I am downloading it immediately after writing this review.
I read this series many years ago, so long ago I'd forgotten the storylines. I only remembered that they were excellent and the audio book does not disappoint. Colin Dexter's twists and turns always leave one guessing and captivated.

Requires concentration
Dexter’s novels require close attention just because Inspector Morse’s approach to cases can be so tortuous but I find them worth it. Very enjoyable.
