Summary
The irrepressible, audacious defence barrister Horace Rumpole is back with seven marvelous stories by John Mortimer. The much loved stories were adapted from his scripts for the hugely popular TV series of the same name.
Critic reviews
"Bill Wallis is perfect as the dry-witted and clever Rumpole... The brilliance of this audio is in the voices Wallis uses to portray each individual, displaying a wide range of dialects and accents so seamless and so suited to each that the listener will forget that only one person is doing the narration. Rumpole's asides, internal meanderings, and quotations of poetry and other commentary are conveyed with the humor they deserve in this thoroughly enjoyable collection." (AudioFile)

Rumpole's Last Case
The Rumpole series is absolutely brilliant and, having listened to some other versions, I would recommend that you always go for the ones read by Bill Wallis who IS Rumpole as per the television series. John Mortimer is one of the wittiest writers (or was, sadly) and Rumpole's antics will have you laughing out loud!

Rumpole, My Rumpole
Was driving from Manchester to Aberdeen and wanted some easy listening, saw Rumpole and thought i liked the TV series so why not, funniest thing I’ve heard for years even sat in the car for a further 20 minutes on arrival at the hotel to finish a story.

Best Rumpole.
Every character has an authentic and consistent voice - male, female, from anywhere in the UK and beyond, and from all social backgrounds - Bill Wallis makes them all real. The books are more solid than the TV scripts from which they developed, funnier, more nuanced, and not subject to our horror at revisiting the unfortunate fashions/hairstyles/interior decor of 1978-1992! Ideas last longer. My only real gripe - chapters often don't correspond to stories, making it harder to find the point at which one fell asleep, listening in bed.

Pure bliss
Listening to this is like double cream on strawberries - nothing new or surprising but utterly delightful. A wonderful way to spend a few hours.

Excellent!
Brilliant reading. I love Bill Wallis’ voices, and he’s perfect for Rumpole, very dry. He sounds just like a friend of mine, also a defence lawyer. Very, very funny, Rumpole would be great company.
