Radio 4’s weekly obituary programme, telling the life stories of those who have died recently.
Matthew spoke to Colin Dexter’s friend and fellow crime writer Val McDermid and to Professor Simon Barker of the University of Chichester. Colin Dexter, born 29 September 1930; died 21 March 2017 aged 86.
Saying that “Colin Dexter will be missed” is a lot like saying “water is wet.”
Such simplistic sentiment, and yet so much beneath.
