Deputy Assistant Commissioner Charlie Hillian is killed on the night of his retirement party. Hillian was at one time a senior officer in Oxford and was in fact Morse's boss. He was also writing a book about his most memorable cases, including one about the unsolved death of an 8-year-old girl some 18 years ago. The suspect in that case, Frederick Redpath, was at Hillian's house the day he died and that chapter from the manuscript is missing. There are other suspects however, including Hillian's ghost writer who will now receive all of the book's royalties a handyman who was working on the property and Redpath's daughter, who knew the little girl who was killed all those years before. Morse comes into conflict with with a colleague DCI Dawson, who was one of Hillian's protégés, as they again look into the little girl's death.
Morse就是不能碰到任何涉及自身男女关系的案件 整个昏厥 第五集发出了同款感慨 Lewis你这亲戚关系真的遍布超广啊哈哈哈哈哈
第一集可真不错，娓娓道来，morse和dawson明明有历史，剧情就是不交代，观众知道有什么不对劲，但就是得看到最后才行。这集的人物塑造也很好，Morse，Lewis，Strange的性格都很鲜明。案情的风格也是典型的忧郁和悔恨。就是有点长，可以剪掉15分钟。这集可以概括整部剧集的魅力。最后一集澳大利亚，Morse第一次叫Lewis Robbie，最后孤单的背影，好心疼。
Morse是一個性格古怪的孤獨浪子，但Lewis永遠是他的小甜心（我真的差點以為他要調走。
四星半。刘易斯这一季起得作用更大了，刘易斯和摩斯的性格塑造令人信服
3.5， E3不错。
