Summary
Bloomsbury presents Post Mortem by Gary Bell, read by Hugh Kermode.
Can Rook keep his criminal past a secret when facing the most dangerous case of his life?
Thirteen men have died in a London prison. Barrister Elliot Rook QC, who risks losing everything if his secret criminal past is revealed, must defend Charli Meadows, the vulnerable single mother accused of smuggling the deadly tainted drugs inside.
But just as Rook becomes suspicious of those closest to Charli, a note arrives at his flat - threatening violence if the trial is not called off.
While Rook battles to defend Charli and protect himself, his young protégé Zara Barnes is fighting for her livelihood. In a few short weeks, only one tenancy at the legal chambers will be available to the ever-multiplying mass of pupils. Determined to make it hers, Zara takes on her biggest solo case yet.
But will her gamble pay off?

Great storyline and narration
If you enjoy Tony Parsons Max Wolfe and Simon Michaels books this is for you. Storyline has similar pace and content you could almost be reading/listening to them. Recommended

A tour de force.
The unlikely duo power through two complex cases that turn out to be linked. All the characters are fully realised and move the story forward at a cracking pace. The legal details create a vivid sense of place and though the final plot twist comes as a shock you realise the information was in front of you all the time. A terrific story expertly narrated. I’m looking forward to number three in the series.

I love these books!
My father was a criminal QC, I grew up spending hours in the clerks’ room or trailing various barristers around various courts and meeting rooms. These books are just fabulous to listen to and really take me back to my childhood.
They also happen to be really well written and, more importantly, well read. It’s usually the narrator who makes or breaks a book for me but I cannot fault this one.

Fun courtroom drama with a twist
It always amazes me when an author can come up with a trust I didn’t see coming (given how many mysteries I’ve read in my life). But Bell succeeded. Good fun. Not quite as keen on the narrator— to me he over-acts a bit. But that’s just personal preference and no shade on his skills.

Great book, the outcome was so unexpected, it showed how the legal system can be turned on its head and then turned back again. Loved the book, and narration

Outrageous…
… and yet hugely enjoyable. The narrator makes this a five star listen, the storyline fairly credible. I think a barrister would cringe looking at this procedurally, but as a former police officer it’s good to have a mystery thriller seen from another perspective. My second read by this author and definitely not my last!

Great story, love the characters.
Very enjoyable. Touches of humour scattered through the story are great. The characters make a great double act. Looking forward to the next installment.
