Last Bus to Woodstock by Colin Dexter

If you're a fan of the Inspector Morse series and the offshoot Inspector Lewis series with settings around Oxford you'll also enjoy the original books by Colin Dexter which the series were based on. Last Bus to Woodstock is the first of the Morse books. Colin Dexter, has won many awards for his novels and in 2000 was awarded the OBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List.

From the cover:
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 . . .

This is a book that will keep your attention from beginning to end. How different life was in the 70s without cell phones and with the only way to deliver messages was
by mail carrier.
