The body of a church warden is discovered with a knife plunged into his back in a quiet country church. As the church collection has vanished the motive seems to be obvious - theft, but no sooner have Morse and Lewis begun to investigate than there is another death. As the mystery deepens Morse finds himself with more murders on his hands and no apparent motive other than they were all present at The feast of the Convergence of St Augustin. In a race against time, Morse and Lewis struggle to find the connection between the murders...

Service of All the Dead has an excellent plot with an unexpected twist. This episode must be something of a record with six murders in total.

Morse shows his weaker side, with yet another love interest. This time the object of his affection is the local church cleaner, to whom he becomes quite attached and he even lies in court to protect.

A thoroughly enjoyable episode with plenty going on.

Morse is called to investigate the suspicious death of a wealthy American tourist who has unexpectedly died of a heart attack. Prior to her death, the victim had announced that a precious jewel, which she had inherited, was going to be donated to a Museum in Oxford...

In The Wolvercote Tongue Morse is on the trial of the jewel, known as the Wolvercote Tongue. While he is investigating its disappearance, the curator of the museum is found dead, floating in the Oxford canal. Coincidence? Or are the two deaths related?

Not one of the most gripping episodes in the series, but still an entertaining watch. And anyone who know Oxford fairly well will be enthralled by the productions filming locations - with lots of historic buildings and places of interest to see.
