Product Description

Ingram

"The Third Rumpole Omnibus" features nineteen brilliant tales of the beloved barrister Rumpole--"simply one of the great fictional characters of modern English literature" (Marcel Berlins, "The Sunday Times") "who's as much a detective as Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot" ("The Boston Sunday Globe") . --Ce texte provient de la Paperback édition.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Horace Rumpole - What more can be said?, Aoû 9 2002
Par Laurence Lazarus (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Third Rumpole Omnibus (Paperback)
Other than Sherlock Holmes, Horace Rumpole is arguably the best and most fully described character in crime fiction. The depth of his character, and indeed the whole ensemble of characters in the Rumpole stories, even outdoes those in the Peter Wimsey, Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple tales. We know Horace Rumpole as well as we know any friend or relative. We also know Hilda - she who must be obeyed. We know Guthrie, Claude Erskine-Brown, Liz Probert, Bollard. Need I go on.

This could be due to Leo McKern's portrayal of Rumpole on television. It was such a tailor-made role that one wonders whether Rumpole defined McKern or McKern defined Rumpole. Be that as it may, we can never go wrong with a good Rumpole story. And any collection, such as this, will bring joy to those who like eccentric personalities and crime fiction.

The crimes themselves are sometimes secondary to the interplay of the cast of characters.

Enjoy, with a touch of Pomeroy's plonk - Chateau Thames Embankment.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Another Good Rumpole Collection, Nov. 16 2001
Par Paul N. Walton (SF Bay Area, California, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Third Rumpole Omnibus (Paperback)
I've read all of the Rumpole stories and this collection contains some of the best. Like the previous two Rumpole omnibi (or is it omnibuses?) it contains three Rumpole books. The one thing about it that puzzles me is that it's the first Rumpole omnibus to skip over a book. For some reason the publisher chose not to include "Rumpole on Trial" as the third book in this omnibus but "Rumpole and the Angel of Death" instead. The First and Second O's each contained three Rumpole books in the order in which they were originally published. I'm curious to know why this was not the case with the Third Omnibus.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Never plead guilty!, Fév 21 2001
Par Un client
This review is from: Third Rumpole Omnibus (Paperback)
John Mortimer's "Rumpole of the Bailey" short stories remain distinguished for their gently ironic humor, their iconic character sketches, and their willingness to take on all political comers. One critic has described the politics of this series as "Tory anarchist," and it isn't hard to see why: Rumpole is an anti-establishment individualist who dislikes any "ism" that gets in the way of his primary goal, namely, keeping his clients out of the clink. These stories are mostly of high quality, although _Rumpole and the Angel of Death_ is a bit uneven: aside from the title story, the others lack Mortimer's usual incisiveness, and the attempt to write a story from Hilda's point-of-view is a noble failure ("Hilda's Story"). I would also add that these stories are best read over time, rather than at one fell swoop. Taken in close proximity, the tics of Rumpole's garrulous and repetitive narrative voice begin to wear--perhaps he could quote from something _besides_ "La Belle Dame Sans Merci" whenever he sees Claude Erskine-Brown?--and the reader becomes a little too conscious of the stories's essentially formulaic nature. Overall, however, "Rumpole of the Bailey" remains one of the most enjoyable mystery series around today.
