 Rumpole and the Penge Bungalow Murders - John Mortimer
 Rumpole and the Penge Bungalow Murders - John Mortimer ... of some unlikely clients - often speaks of the great murder trial which revealed his talents as an advocate and made his reputation down at the Bailey when he was still a young man. Now, for the first time, the sensational story of the Penge Bungalow Murders case is told in full: how, shortly after the war, Rumpole took on the seemingly impossible task of defending young Simon Jerold, accused of murdering his father and his father's friend with a German officer's gun. And how the inexperienced young brief was left alone to pursue the path of justice, in a case that was to echo through the Bailey for years to comNewest Review: ... to be in this position and how he dealt with it. Any murder trial is, of course, serious, but this one is particularly so ... more ... for Rumpole, as he thinks that a wrongly accused young man may be convicted and face the death penalty.
This mood is well balanced, in my opinion, by the complementary storylines involving the Timpson family, who by comparison with murders might be considered "loveable rogues", and Rumpole's private life.
It is written in the form of memoirs, taking us back to the 1940s and 50s, and involves the Royal Air Force. Rumpole investigates to try to distinguish between the heroes and villains. Although I can't co...more |

Rumpole and the Penge Bungalow Murders - John Mortimer: Humorous Who-Dun-It (767 words)
by - written on 30/10/06 (Very useful, 308 readings)
Rating:
