Colin Dexter is the much-loved author and creator of the well-known Inspector Morse novels. We are very excited to say that he will be coming to Abingdon to talk about A Perfect Crime.
Colin Dexter has created an iconic character in his Inspector Morse, whose lasting impression on Oxford and it’s reputation has led to the bar in the Randolph being named ‘The Morse Bar’ and guides published to visit places from the books. A highly acclaimed writer, Colin Dexter has been the recipient of many awards for his work, including the Crime Writer’s Association Gold and Silver Dagger awards, and a special Cartier Diamond Dagger award for outstanding services to crime literature in 1997, and in 2000 Colin was awarded the Order of The British Empire for services to literature.
His inspector Morse novels are the epitome of great crime fiction and the popular TV adaptations have made Morse a well-known household name.
The event takes place at St Helen and St Katherine School on Tuesday March 20 at7pm. Tickets are £8 and includes a glass of wine. Reserve a ticket by emailing books@mostly-books.co.uk.
