An ailing man is found dead from what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound and all the evidence points to it being suicide. However, his doctor disputes this, saying that he was not physically able to pull the trigger. Morse and Lewis investigate.
An interesting and emotional Morse episode. We have the intrigue of the death and the possibility that it is murder. We have Morse's personal involvement: the wife of the dead man was once his fiancee. This all leads to some interesting developments and an emotional ending.
The Morse entanglement with a female person of interest in a case is beginning to wear thin though. Due to the conflict of interest you'd think either he'd have to remove himself from the case or his superiors would make that decision for him. At least in this case it's an old flame, rather than him taking a fancy to a woman that's potentially involved in the crime, but it is starting to be predictable.
