Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :3
I love Inspector Morse and watch it everytime I get a chance. This episode of the series was the best because the story kept me guessing. Plus it had Sean Bean in it. He plays a fun charsimatic character. You will really enjoy this, I know I did.
The Chemistry of Murder
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
Morse and Lewis go to jail! It is a minimum security prison which also allows inmates privileges not found in other penal institutions its an experiment, with a female governor overseeing the operation. Our beloved pair is there to investigate the death of Lawrence Cryer who was incarcerated at the facility, along with his two cohorts in crime, for a bunko scheme from which the money has never been recovered. Cryers two partners are obvious suspects as are those investors who lost their money to the scheme. Joining in the investigation is Detective Sergeant Cheetham who provides several opportunities for by-play with Morse and also with Lewis. During one exchange, Morse calls him Lewis, telling him a beer would be in order but he (Morse) has no money. A prison guard, another inmate and a financial analyst all become involved as well as the families of two of the three swindlers then add in another murder and an attempted murder - the plot moves along rather well, however, as with all of Morses cases you need to lock in to the story to the exclusion of all else in your life. This episode is from Morses "late period" where all entries are five stars.
Revenge & Retribution
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :5
This entry in the Morse series is somewhat unusual, in that the events unfold largely in a prison setting moreover, the mystery focuses attention upon punishment (or lack of same) for white collar crime. Morse and Lewis are brought to the minimum security prison following the death of Lawrence Cryer, one of a trio of crooked developers who defrauded scores of duped investors. Although death by heart attack was the initial impression, signs of trauma point to homicide. There is no shortage of potential suspects or motives given Cryers history.
The obvious suspects include investors or their relatives who were victimized by Cryer, his own partners in crime, and his young wife and/or her boyfriend among others. Morse concludes that the three partners stashed a fortune in secret bank accounts just prior to their bankruptcy declaration and imprisonment consequently, he is convinced that the homicide is related to avarice. An ambitious police officer (Sergeant Cheatham) shares Morses view that the death was motivated by monetary considerations and resorts to several tactics (legal and illegal) to prove his point. Later in the episode, one of the two surviving partners is poisoned and Morse becomes even more convinced that greed is the catalyst for these events. The viewer is confronted with several factors with possible relevance to the case-- the presence of a prison guard who is related to one of the cheated investors and the presence of a soon to be released inmate who had been convicted for murder 16 years earlier. In the final analysis, Morses penchant for solving crossword puzzles helps him solve the case and discover the real motivation behind two homicides and one attempted murder. All things considered, this installment is very satisfying. The character portrayals (particularly the role of inmate Bennett) are generally very good with one exception. The role of the socially progressive female prison governor was somewhat overplayed, as this character was scripted as a rather tiresome and deluded creature who often needed reminding that she ran a penal institution as opposed to a Summer camp for mischievous adults.
Absolute Conviction
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :7
A perfect Morse adventure. Plenty of twists & puzzles with an unusal backdrop. A modern English prison with a female Governor 3 partners, all in the same prison one of whom is murdered & Morse is called in. One of Colin Dexters very best.
