Über diesen Titel

In this engaging collection of stories, Rumpole continues to deftly juggle the vagaries of law, the ambiguities of crime, and the contradictions of the human heart in his death-defying performances on behalf of justice. The irreverent, claret-swilling, poetry-spouting barrister takes on suspect connoisseurs in the art world, journeys deep into the throbbing heart of Africa, dabbles in some feminist politics, decides the countryside is a very dangerous place, and incurs the wrath of his wife, She Who Must Be Obeyed.

Kritikerstimmen

“Once detective-fiction heroes enter your mental landscape, they can seem as real as your own friends and family. For a lot of people, Horace Rumpole is just such a vivid and familiar figure.” ( Wall Street Journal)
“Mortimer has created one of the legendary fictional detectives…a barrister [who’s] as much a detective as Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot.” ( Boston Globe)
“Rumpole is one of the immortals of mystery fiction.” ( San Francisco Chronicle)

intelligent and funny. Rumpole is a great character wonderfully sarcastic and human. He is a sort of anti-hero, you cannot help liking him with his sloppy appearance and intellectual comments. Another sort of rebel. Reading the whole series, you are taken through decades of British/European history commented on with a thrillingly dry humour. the whole set of characters gives us our little human weaknesses and vanities (and goodness) in an entertaining thread over the whole series.
Unfortunately not all of the books in the series are available, but can be read anyway.
I do hope the rest of the books will be available!!!!

intelligent and funny
