Morse, Lewis, Endeavour and Oxford: The Essential Guide to Morse's Oxford:

by John Mair, Heidi Boon Rickard, Richard Lance Keeble (Editor)

Overview

Morse is Oxford and Oxford is Morse. It has been since Endeavour Morse burst on to British TV screens in 1987. There have now been 102 episodes of the murder mysteries of Morse, Lewis and Endeavour. It ends in the UK in March 2023 with the last Endeavour.

However, further episodes will be aired in the US on PBS:

The opener, "Prelude," sees the sleuths looking into a mysterious death at a reception for a prestigious orchestra, while the subsequent demise of a musician in the orchestra complicates matters, and the murder of an old face from Thursday's past rings alarm bells. Episode Two, "Uniform," features the murder of a cast member on a TV cop drama starring a popular actor, baffles the sleuths, while an elite undergraduate club causes mayhem. And the final episode, "Exeunt," focuses on a series of deaths that are announced in the newspaper before they have occurred, a biker is killed, and storm clouds gather as the past continues to rear its ugly head.

This comprehensive guide gives you a tour of the relevant locations but also a trip round his creator Colin Dexter's mind, an appraisal of Morse as literature and Morse as a detective by the former Chief Constable of his force. It is replete with width, depth and useful information.
