Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

At the start of Mortimer's winning new novella to feature Horace Rumpole (after 2006's Rumpole and the Reign of Terror), the quirky English barrister agrees to defend 12-year-old Peter Timson, who's been served with an Anti-social Behaviour Order (ASBO) for playing soccer in the streets of a posh London neighborhood. Later, Rumpole takes on a more serious case: a shy civil servant, Graham Wetherby, stands accused of murdering a prostitute, an illegal Russian immigrant. Since Wetherby prefers to be represented by a QC or Queens Counsel, Rumpole schemes to become a QC in an amusing subplot. Rumpole fans will cheer the barrister's vigorous defense of his clients as well as his cutting comments on the nanny state that gives rise to laws like ASBOs. As always, the character of Rumpole overshadows the mystery solving: his hedonistic pleasure in food and drink, his acerbic, manipulative wit and his love for the legal underdog. Wife Hilda—She Who Must Be Obeyed—narrates the occasional chapter to great comic effect. (Dec.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Rumpole Misbehaves, May 7 2009
By D. Thomson "Deb T" (Toronto Ontario) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Rumpole Misbehaves (Audio CD)
This is a great audio book. As usual the storyline is wonderful and I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoyes the Rumpole stories. As much as I would love to see Rumpole get his silks the twists in the story are highly typical of the man.
