For an old guy, Morse seems to attract a lot of quite attractive young women. Unfortunately, they seem to have some agenda or serious baggage. This is one of the better Inspector Morse episodes. It involves a meeting with an old friend and classmate. The man surfaces one day and they have lunch. Very shortly after, he is found dead, an apparent suicide. But, of course, we know better. Morse spends the whole episode trying to interpret a story the man told him. Apparently, there was a serious reason for the lunch meeting but the explanation was never delivered. Morse soon finds himself being flattered by the widow of his friend, a very nice looking radio host and another, who appears to be up to no good. Much of the setting is a cricket pitch where Lewis is forced to play and act undercover. There is some open hostility from one of the cricketeers but it is passed off as competitiveness. The hallmark of this series is the unraveling of a series of clues that were presented nicely. This was a very satisfying episode.
