Publisher Description

"FM One of the many books featuring Rumpole, an older,grumpy, but good hearted lawyer that frequently argues cases at the Old Bailey in London. As an anglophile I loved this character and the old fashioned stories centered around the Old Bailey but it's not everybody's cup of tea. "

    " Rumpole is an interesting character, however Mortimer's prose felt dry and forced. This might be due to the fact that I had never read any other Rumpole mysteries before. I plan on trying a few more of his books to see if they're any better - the stories hint at that they might be. "
