Colin Dexter
I just purchased Colin Dexter's books from Waterstones, and I have to say I really recommend them to anyone interested in crime. I've seen most of the Morse TV-series and Lewis TV-series which is why I thought I'd give the books a try. The only problem is that three of the Morse books are missing from the Waterstones website. I've sent an email to the publisher asking if they are planning on releasing the last three books or not. Seems a bit strange for them to skip three of them, unless there's some kind of copyright issue.

I agree. I love all of Colin Dexter's books. It is a shame that he has stopped writing but I suppose it is better to go out on top.
If you haven't found him yet give the Inspector Banks novels by Peter Robinson a try. Highly recommended. Cheers Chris |

Mr Dexter is 78 years old (born 29 September 1930). I think that he is allowed to retire.

I have bought MOBI ebooks from WHSmith, and they are even VAT free to US buyers. So my primary issue is ebooks released as Secure ePub only, which locks out all handheld devices (EInk or otherwise) except the Sony Readers. I think UK publishers are missing significant sales by going this route. My point about "UK only" is that a US publisher would most likely release the ebook in multiple formats.

Yes - that is a nuisance, I agree.
