Lord Titmuss is still a figure with formidable influence in his constituency, but now the Conservatives face a difficult by-election after the strange death of the sitting Tory MP. Terry Flitton, the New Labour candidate, is confident of victory. But Titmuss seems to know a great deal about Terry, and quite a lot about the late and unmourned MP....

The Sound of Trumpets represents the triumphant completion of a political trilogy that began with Paradise Postponed and Titmuss Regained.

Political shenanigans and cunning plans - so well written (as I would expect) and well-narrated too.

A complex and nuanced story brilliantly performed. I have loved the whole trilogy, from the array of interesting and sympathetic characters (including the antihero Leslie Titmuss) to the biting satire which remains relevant today. Highly recommended!

Humour and pathos.
