In this work, Horace Rumpole returns to delight us with seven new cases. We find our hero jousting with the Devil, being wooed by a beautiful violin player, and even up before the Disciplinary Tribunal of the Bar Council.

Timothy West is excellent as Rumpole (so is Bill Wallis but he is a good character actor) and, of course, the stories are intriguing as full of wit. I would recommend all of these to listeners. It makes the morning drive into work fizz and sparkle like nothing else without dulling the senses. If you forget the name of the reader it really becomes Leo McKern. Yup it is that good

Utterly Brilliant

Timothy West makes a superb Rumpole - great speed of narration and intonation. Became hooked very quickly and was quite sorry when it was over.

Thoroughly entertaining stories with the perfect narrator

What an absolute JOY! I apologised more than once for startling the natives with lols!
She Who Must Be Obeyed is as long-suffering and acerbic as ever. Rumpole you could just hug and Erskine-Brown you could just kick! Excellently read by Timothy West who's voice coloured the brilliant stories and brought them to life. Would recommend listening with a glass of Chateau Wherever it passes as Chateau Thames Embankment. Cheers Rumpole!!!

It FELT as Short as a Suspended Sentence!

Thank you for bringing the inimitable Rumpole to my journeys on the London Underground; half expecting him to be striding along the District Line platform as my train pulls in to Temple.

Timothy West brings the characters to life brilliantly.

Brilliant in every way

Brilliant tales read extraordinarily well. I'm exceedingly happy to have listened and look forward to more of the same.

Rumpole, obviously!
