797. Colin Dexter - The Wench Is Dead

I enjoyed the first ¾ of this enormously; beautifully written (not something I remember from Colin Dexter). Morse is in hospital; another patient gives him an apparently factual history about a murder on the Oxford canal in the 19th century; Morse reads it and decides that the author and the courts at the time have got it all wrong. Very clever plotting but I lost it a bit towards the end. Short and worth re-reading to see if I can follow it any better!
