The two try to find a link between a murder in Oxford's Bodleian Library; a burglary gone wrong leads from underground amateur boxing to the now-defunct East German Secret Police; the suicide of Hathaway's old friend test his relationship with Lewis; a case of rape and murder causes Lewis to lock horns with the town's elite; a fantasy author finds himself linked to an investigation of murder; the murder of an unpopular student-actor gives many potential suspects and motives; called to investigate a brutal murder, Hathaway's attention may be drifting elsewhere.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

More Insp. Lewis submitted by Jen Chapin-Smith on August 27, 2012, 10:50am In a spin-off from the very popular "Inspector Morse" mystery series, Morse' sergeant Lewis is now a full detective.

Those who enjoyed the Morse series will enjoy Lewis as well, although seeing the earlier series will make it easier to understand this later one. As a student at Oxford (albeit only for one semester), I loved seeing all the places on campus in the background of this TV series.

My main criticism of the series is how it negatively or at least stereotypically portrays gays, transgender people and birth mothers who gave their babies up for adoption.
