About this listen
We last left Rumpole in his hospital bed after his sudden collapse in court. Now our hero finds himself in the Primrose Path nursing home - or a hospice as he persists in describing it. Things aren't looking good for Rumpole - until suddenly he begins to sense there's something wrong with the place, and all his intelligence and formidable insight into human behaviour come to the fore again. And once he has solved the mystery of the Primrose Path nursing home, Rumpole finds the briefs fly thick and fast again.
This collection of six Rumpole stories shows the legendary advocate on top form.

Excellent narration
Another enjoyable Rumpole tale. His usual acerbic and insightful self. Timeless. Well narrated and interesting plot.

Rumpole Wins Again
What can anyone say about any of John Mortimer's Rumpole books except that they're brilliant? Once again Horace goes to battle with the Forces of the Bailey; She Who Must Be Obeyed and assorted bent coppers and devious criminals. You don't need to know the stories - just sit back and giggle, as the wonderful Rumpole triumphs (or doesn't) against the odds. Don't listen in a public place, though, as people do tend to look at you in a strange way when you burst out laughing on the bus.

Entertaining and witty, as usual.
Always enjoy these, so well written , anecdotes on Horace Rumpole. This time , with the added advantage I hadn't heard these episodes before. For some reason much easier listening than the last Rumpole Audible I listened to..which seemed very indistinct..

Great mood-lifter
The life and cases of our favourite Old Bailey hack are always entertaining and this collection doesn’t disappoint. Wily Rumpole exercises his long experience, honed on famous wins like the Penge bungalow murders, on a batch of new cases under the long-suffering gaze of She Who Must Be Obeyed and fueled by large quantities of Chateau Thames Embankment.
The performance by Bill Wallis is outstanding.

Predictably funny and warm and sharp. Excellent narration too. Highly recommend these stories for those needing a pick-me-up.

Excellent as ever
Another fine collection of Rumpole shorts.
Read wonderfully by Bill Wallace who captures John Mortimer's peerless prose and Leo McKern’s superb TV portrayal pitch-perfectly.
