<p><b><i>The Secret of Annexe 3</i> is the seventh novel in the Oxford-set detective series from Colin Dexter, the winner of the CWA Silver Dagger Award.</b><br><br><i>Morse sought to hide his disappointment. So many people in the Haworth Hotel that fateful evening had been wearing some sort of disguise – a change of dress, a change of make-up, a change of partner, a change of attitude, a change of life almost; and the man who had died had been the most consummate artist of them all . . .</i><br><br>Chief Inspector Morse seldom allowed himself to be caught up in New Year celebrations. So the murder inquiry in the festive hotel had a certain appeal- it was a crime worthy of the season.<br><br>With the corpse still in fancy dress- albeit bloodsoaked- and hardly a single guest at the Hadworth hotel having checked in under their real name, Morse is faced with his toughest mystery yet.<br><br&gt
