I loved the Inspector Morse mystery shows, and was very sad when the actor who played him (John Thaw) passed away. I thought he was such an interesting, layered character. At least the way that Thaw played him. The first spin off, Inspector Lewis, is great. Lewis was always a great character on the show as well. And the new one, Endeavour?

This Constant Reader feels good about what Uncle Stevie has been up to lately.
About halfway through Revival, I realized something — how much I enjoy reading all of the reviews from my fellow Cannonballers every year.

He’s also working on the disappearance of Sir Reuben Levy, a financier. While all this is going on, there’s a bunch of trading in Peruvian oil. […]
