Having watched all the episodes of "Endeavour," the prequel, and making my way through "Inspector Louise," I felt it time to see what started the whole thing. This episode, like many firsts, is a bit ragged. Louis is one of those cops who knows he could never do anything else. He has an artistic temperament and a sensitivity that really rings true. He sings in a choir and takes a fancy to a middle aged woman. They become friends, but she holds immense secrets. One day she fails to show up for practice and Morse goes to her house, only to find the police there. Apparently, she has hanged herself. This leads to an investigation that shows us that things are never as simple as they seem. Morse works for a boss who is by the book and, hence, pretty ineffective. We are introduced, in this episode, to Inspector Lewis who will become Morse's partner and sidekick. We are treated to a tightly plotted piece of work that endears us.
