The Jewel That Was Ours is an Inspector Morse mystery by Colin Dexter set in Oxford. A group of American tourists arrives in the city, but the visit turns into a criminal investigation when one visitor dies at the Randolph Hotel and a valuable jewel-encrusted object disappears from the victim’s handbag. At first the death may appear accidental, yet Chief Inspector Morse suspects that the theft and the death are connected. A second body later found in the River Cherwell makes the case more disturbing and forces Morse to examine the relationships among the tourists and people around them. He follows conflicting accounts, concealed motives and small inconsistencies to reconstruct what happened. The novel combines a puzzle-like plot with Morse’s patient, sometimes unconventional detective work and explores the way greed and deception can hide behind respectable appearances.
