Samuel West reads the novels. Morse on the page is a colder, pricklier man than John Thaw played, and the books are the better for it.

Which order should you listen in?
Publication order. The television series adapted these out of sequence and invented a great deal besides, so if you came from the screen the books will surprise you — Morse on the page is a good deal less likeable.
