Colin Dexter, The Daughters of Cain

 I must have said this before, but Morse has dated so badly. He's still a wonderful, compelling character, but the casual sexism and lechery  is shocking in the era of #metoo. Things that seem ok for Morse and the author to think or say are not OK, it would be considered predatory behaviour from an authority figure now. Easter holidays have started, and Fred decided to put the family tent up as a project. He did a great job, but the last few nights it's been minus degrees until last night, when it was 5 degrees. So everyone wanted to sleep out. William made it until 02:30 due to the cold, Libby until 4-ish, but Fred lasted the night. I managed to get some little sleep, I think I'll be out there with them for a few weeks, but I'm happy about that, its nice to be in the open air.
