Reader reviews for Rumpole and the Reign of Terror

From the publisher

Rumpole and the Reign of Terror - a delightful novel starring John Mortimer's iconic barrister

'Rumpole like Jeeves and Sherlock Holmes is immortal' P. D James Mail on Sunday

'I thank heaven for small mercies. The first of these is Rumpole' Clive James Observer

Justice isn't blind - it's just a little short sighted and weak around the knees ...

Just in case Rumpole and the Penge Bungalow Murders gave fans the impression that the Great Defender was resting on his laurels his new case sends him at full sail into our panicky new world. Rumpole is asked to defend a Pakistani doctor who has been imprisoned without charge or trial on suspicion of aiding Al Qaeda. Meanwhile on the home front She Who Must Be Obeyed is threatening to share her intimate view of her husband in a tell-all memoir. The result is Rumpole at his most ironic and indomitable and John Mortimer at his most entertaining.

This hilarious novel will be loved by fans of Rumpole and readers of Sherlock Holmes P.D. James and P.G. Wodehouse.
