I can't believe that I'm the first person to review this book. I hope that people read my review and take the time to read John Mortiomer's excellent series. This is one of the few novels in the long-ruinning Rumpole series, and it's a good one. Most of the time the stories are in short story format, and those are excellent as well. In this book Rumpole has ostensibly retired to live in Florida, but the sun and fun do not interest him. He wants to be back fighting cases at the Old Bailey in England, and when he spies a news story about a murder in good old "Jolly Old" he has to go back. Leaving She Who Must be Obeyed behind, he hops a plane and returns. These books are hilariously funny, and as I read I can't help but picture Leo McKern who played such a truly wonderful Horace Rumpole in the BBC series. If you love English humour, and smashing good mysteries please read these books.
