Editorial reviews
Rumpole is the astute, and often outlandish, London barrister who was created by real life English barrister John Mortimer in 1975.
In Rumpole’s Return, narrated with dramatic flourish by Leo McKern (and expert r roller of the tongue), our investigative hero is enjoying his retirement in the Florida sunshine. But Rumpole’s crafty legal services are desperately needed for a tough and bloody case that needs solving back in England.Therefore, duty calls. And whether he likes it or not, our fair Rumpole leaves the sun and returns to Britain to find out if he is still the best crack sleuth this side of Sherlock Holmes.
Publisher's summary
"It's just no good. He can't fight it. He tells the police he's guilty. The bloody knife's in the dustbin. He's identified by at least three witnesses at the tube station and he writes some spooky letter in his victim's blood. The case is as dead as mutton."
"Just the sort of case Rumpole would have enjoyed."
And where is Rumpole, that eccentric barrister famous for his knowledge of bloodstains, blood groups, and forgery by typewriter? He is supposed by one and all to be enjoying his well-earned retirement in the Florida sunshine with his son, Nick; daughter-in-law, Erica; and, of course, She Who Must Be Obeyed. But Rumpole is made of sterner stuff, and the nearest whiff of a tricky blood case and he abandons the pleasure of Florida orange juice and descends on the dear old Chambers to take command once again.

Story
In The Worst of You, just-wed architects Timo and Nia flee a murder scene, setting in motion a chain reaction of lies and betrayals that threaten to unravel everything they have built together. Twisted and propulsive, this thriller is told from the alternating perspectives of the couple and those close to them on Williwaw Island, each with their own motive to use the outcome of the murder case to their advantage. When a huge storm sweeps up the coast, trapping everyone on tiny Williwaw Island, it’s a race against time—and the elements — to stop the murderer from striking again.

Story
Sloan will go through hell and back for those she loves. And she does so, every single day. Caught up with the alluring Asa Jackson, a notorious drug trafficker, Sloan has finally found a lifeline to cling to, even if it’s meant compromising her morals. She was in dire straits trying to pay for her brother’s care until she met Asa. But as Sloan became emotionally and economically reliant on him, he in turn developed a disturbing obsession with her—one that becomes increasingly dangerous every day.

Rumpole
Narrator and story were both very wonderful. I really enjoy this one and often have it on, just as background noise.

Rumpole Forever
I love the Rumpole books and the TV series and the audio is excellent, especially as it is read by Leo McKern; Rumpole himself! Highly recommended for any Rumpole fan.

Rumpole…
Everything after that word, including the Author, is engaging and witty. It’s a big ol Y-E_S for me.
