As superb as usual
Bill Wallis does a masterful job of reading these Rumpole books, he’s up there with Timothy West which for me is very high praise.

Beautifully written.
It is such a pleasure to listen to these stories that I could not put them down. I found myself sitting in the dark so I could hear the denoumont of another great case for the obstinate Horace Rimpole.

Far funnier than I thought
Vaguely remember this was a tv program when I was growing up but it didn’t interest me at the time. Having now come across this as an audiobook I thought I would give it a try as an adult and surprised at how funny these stories are, cleverly wound around light court room drama. Will definitely be listening to more Rumpole stories and recommend anyone with a spare credit or if you can get one in the Audiable sale, grab it and be prepared to laugh out loud.

The Trials of Rumpole
All John Mortimer's books in the Rumpole series are absolutely brilliant and the best ones are read by Bill Wallis, which this one is. These tales will make you laugh out loud and they are a good antidote for the winter blues!
