Doesn't Disappoint November 5, 2003
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
I first happened across the Rumpole books a decade or so ago, and each offering has been a gem. John Mortimer, as usual, takes the opportunity to use Rumpole as a vehicle to cast a satirical eye over (relatively) recent political and legal issues. Equally, however, each story stands on its own merits irrespective of whether one recognises the real world events which provide the backdrop.
The usual cast of characters, who will be familiar to readers of previous books, are present together with a new arrival or two.
The only issue I have with this book (and with some of the Rumpole series in general) is the sometimes extraordinary series of co-incidences upon which the plot resolution depends - chance meetings, mutual aquantances etc. Still, providing the reader is sufficiently willing to suspend their disbelief, Rumpole remains a joy to read.
