Colin Dexter, Inspector Morse author dies at age 86
Colin Dexter dead: Inspector Morse author dies at Oxford home, aged 86
Quote:
"With immense sadness, MacMillan announces the death of Colin Dexter who died peacefully at his home in Oxford this morning." his publishing house said in a statement on Tuesday.

Dexter, who was awarded an OBE in 2000, wrote 14 Morse novels, between 1975 and 1999, which were subsequently adapted for the long-running ITV series starring John Thaw and spawned spin-off shows Lewis and Endeavour.

I haven't read all of the books, but I enjoyed his cameos in the various TV adaptations.

I haven't read the books, but I have seen the shows with the late John Thaw (he also played Jonathan Small in The Sign of Four with Jeremy Brett). I wasn't aware that Colin Dexter had made cameo appearances in the shows though. Interesting.

Sad news. You really should read the books; they're excellent.
