The silent world of Nicholas Quinn, by Colin Dexter

This is the third book in the Inspector Morse series of detective novels and I have to say it is the least believable. The Inspector Morse character solves the crime through random experiences of epiphany that he later explains in great detail to his sidekick Lewis. I'm used to twists and turns and false leads, but this book takes it to another level, so much so the reader can only understand what happened after Morse explains it in meticulous detail. While entertaining, it still seems like a bit of a flaw in the writing or plotting that it is nearly incomprehensible to the reader. Either way, I do plan to continue with the series.
