The Remorseful Day is a crime novel by Colin Dexter, the last novel in the Inspector Morse series.
Title
The title derives from a line in the poem "XVI - (How clear, how lovely bright)", from More Poems, by A. E. Housman, a favourite poet of Dexter's and Morse:
- "Ensanguining the skies
- How heavily it dies
- Into the west away;
- Past touch and sight and sound
- Not further to be found,
- How hopeless under ground
- Falls the remorseful day."
Plot
Morse tries to solve the unsolved murder of Yvonne Harrison as his health deteriorates.
Morse dies of cardiac failure at the end of the story.[1]
