Book Reviews of Rumpole and the Reign of Terror (Rumpole Novels)
Book Review: Rumpole in the 21st Century!
Summary: 5 Stars
Bottom line up front: This is another MUST read for all Rumpole fans. One now approaches new books by the octogenarian Sir John Mortimer--especially a Rumpole story--with trepidation. Has the old fox still got it in him? Rest assured he has. This time out Rumpole incurs the wrath of the establishment (as usual) for defending a Pakistani-immigrant doctor accused of collaborating with terrorists. Experienced Rumpoleans, however, will suspect that there is more to the case than meets the eye.
What one must not look for in this book is internal consistency within the Rumpole oeuvre. Mortimer is notoriously careless about the minor details associated with these stories. The address of Rumpole's chambers, for instance, varies from 1 through 4 Equity Court. In this novel the notorious Judge Bullingham, long ago written off as dead, has been resurrected and with a carnal eye for She Who Must Be Obeyed! For that matter the Old Bailey Hack himself must be getting on towards 90 if his "sixty-ish" self-description from nearly thirty years ago was correct. Of course such trivialities may be determined by future scholars to be attributable to the amount of Pomeroy's plonk Rumpole had consumed before setting down his memoirs. Meanwhile: Enjoy!
