Rumpole at Christmas

In these stories, the call of justice (and a bit of excitement) leads Rumpole as far afield as a health farm in Norfolk and as near to home as a pantomime at the Tufnell Park Empire.

  • "Rumpole isn't fond of Christmas - he finds it drags on too long. As he and 'She Who Must Be Obeyed' go through the usual festive rituals in Froxbury Mansions, the only excitement comes in deciding whether to stand for the national anthem after the Queen's speech. But at least the criminal fraternity rarely takes a holiday. Whether it's a Father Christmas who is behaving suspiciously at a Christmas party, or a body discovered at the health spa where Rumpole is gloomily trying to survive a not-so-festive Christmas diet, there's always something wonderfully unlawful to liven up the dull holiday plans. In these seven delightful stories, collected together for the first time, the great barrister lives on."
