Colin Dexter on ‘Bleak House’

The novelist who created Inspector Morse writes about Bleak House for the Guardian's series "A book that changed me": 

"I have . . . religiously read the novel from beginning to end three times, and with ever-increasing delight and understanding. It was, and is, the greatest novel of the lot. Why? First, the quality of the writing; second, the complexity of the plot; third, the extraordinary insight and honesty of the characterisation."
