The last three episodes of the Morse TV-series (Death is now my Neighbour, The Wench is Dead and The Remorseful Day) belong more or less together, maybe due to the fact that Ad?le Cecil plays a part in it. This is far more less the case in the Morse novels, mind you. In the novel Death is now my Neighbour, Morse falls in love (and has a relation) with someone who is not present at all in the film! In the novel The Wench is Dead there is no appearance of Miss Cecil at all (at the end he starts a short sexual relation with yet another woman) and I can't recall having read Ad?le's name in the novel The Remorseful Day (in which novel he has a brief -and last!- relation with again another woman). I do not want to spoil the fun of the readers who still wish to read these novels (they are different from the televison versions), so I won't give away anymore details. I suppose the filmmakers added Miss Cecil's character in the last to films to give the series a sort of continuation, which actually isn't there! The 'staying' of Ad?le Cecil and eventually her absence (her 'fading' in The Remorseful Day) add perhaps more to the lonelyness of Morse while dying.
