Hello Fred....
FR> Actually, I consider the novels better than the TV
FR> versions that have come
FR> out in the past several years. The first Morse TV
FR> shows were quite good,
FR> but there's now a different writer who just can't
FR> capture Morse's irascible
FR> personality.
FR> Many of the TV shows are not based on Dexter's
FR> novels, but are "based on
FR> characters created by Dexter." That weakens the TV
FR> shows in my estimation.
I have just finished "The Dead of Jerico" and really enjoyed it. I am glad
to know that the PBS series is only "based on " his characters. I was
thinking I would hate to read one of the books and miss the excitement of the
solving of the puzzle because I had seen it on TV!
Regards....Polly
