Historia
Horace Rumpole, the irreverent, iconoclastic, claret-swilling, poetry-spouting barrister at law, is among the most beloved characters of English crime literature. He is not a particularly gifted attorney, nor is he particularly fond of the law by courts if it comes to that, but he’d rather be swinging at a case than bowing to his wife Hilda, She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed.

Henry, novelist and former 'angry young man' turned grumpy old reactionary, decides to fight the will and prove their father was insane.

Resumen del Editor
These seven irresistible stories run the gamut from simple thievery to murder and espionage. Rumpole recalls three delightful battles with his arch-enemy, the Mad Bull; indulges his knowledge of bloodstains and typewriters; and uses the refined taste of a garage mechanic to discover the reasons for the robbery of a case of wine.
As usual, Rumpole's biting wit and benevolent ideas of justice push the Mad Bull to the edge of retaliation, and it is only through some last minute diplomatic intervention that Rumpole lives to argue another day.

It was 1970 in a defeated Rhode Island fishing town. Vietnam and Nixon dominated the national news. Both the near and distant future looked bleak. But they were five inseparable high school friends with something incredible in common: an unwavering resolve to look after each other no matter what hell life threw at them. And they were on a mission. The plan was simple: Go off the grid before they turned 18 to avoid the draft. They’d sell some grass, stack some cash, then head west and start a commune. What could possibly go wrong?

In The Worst of You, just-wed architects Timo and Nia flee a murder scene, setting in motion a chain reaction of lies and betrayals that threaten to unravel everything they have built together. Twisted and propulsive, this thriller is told from the alternating perspectives of the couple and those close to them on Williwaw Island, each with their own motive to use the outcome of the murder case to their advantage. When a huge storm sweeps up the coast, trapping everyone on tiny Williwaw Island, it’s a race against time—and the elements — to stop the murderer from striking again.

Jane Austen fan Amelia Bennett sneaks away from a dull tour of an English country manor, only to run into a man more dashing than Mr. Darcy himself. About to lose his ancestral home to family debts, charming aristocrat Tom Calder invites his American guest to join him in drinking his way through the estate’s priceless wine collection. But when they wake in his bed the next morning, they’re convinced that in their drunken haze they witnessed a murder. Problem is, the body has vanished and no one believes them.

Historia
Three months ago, Tansy Bloom quit monster hunting. Since then, she’s been trying to live a normal life (whatever that means), but ending up single, unemployed, and living on a boat outside her godfather’s pub definitely wasn’t part of the plan. So, when Tansy’s ex-husband – fellow monster hunter Rex Barclay – turns up like a bad penny and asks for her help with his latest investigation, Tansy reluctantly agrees. At first, the job appears to be a straightforward monster hunt – following a spate of large creature sightings, Rex believes a werewolf is on the loose in Norfolk.

Witty British humor
the narrator took a little to get used to but overall the story and performance was entertaining.

Delightful
Absolutely amazing narrator. He makes this book to come alive in your ears. The witty text of Rumpole and the amazing twists of the storyline keeps the listener on his toes.

Rumpole Rules. But Why?
Generally, we (or at least I) tend to favor books that show us worlds we’d want to inhabit (or at least visit) and people we’d like to know. But Rumpole? He’s rude and cantankerous. He’s trapped in an antagonistic marriage. For all his talent he’s a professional failure; in his own words, "a legal hack". And he inhabits a world of cut-and-thrust argument, in and out of court.
So why do I enjoy him so much?
First, the targets of his irreverence (posers, social climbers, reformers) are my pet peeves – and explain his lack of professional success. What he holds dear (truth, poetry, a job well done) are among my favorite things. Worldly-wise rather than world-weary, his cynicism never descends to despair. Rather, he offsets the distasteful atmosphere in which he lives and works with a mental buoyancy that turns these standard elements of tragedy into priceless humor. Of course, he's aided in this by his abiding love for criminal defense, work most of his associates shun.
Finally, most of these stories are good mysteries. Not edge-of-your-seat, whodunnit thrillers, but curious perplexities that get resolved in sometimes unexpected ways in the course of Rumpole’s patient, persistent pursuit of that rarest of commodities, the truth.
I know Frederick Davidson is a lightning rod; people either love him or hate him. I love him. He always brought so much more to the mic.

Davidson’s narration stands up to repeated listenings
A consistently engaging set of episodes from Mortimer that intermittently includes incidents and phrases that will cause you to laugh aloud. Davidson is adept in his portrayals of a host of characters and his pacing uniformly involves the listener.

A clutch of tales about Rumpole of the Bailey
These John Mortimer stories are good fun, and the incomparable narrator Frederick Davidson evokes perfectly the superb TV series. You can easily picture the actor Leo McKern holding forth as Rumpole!

Terrible narrator
Perhaps is it my American Mississippi accent, but I cannot understand one word this narrator is saying. He words sound like they are being belched and his voice like he is in pain. I previously bought "Rumpole on Trial," narrated by Tony Britton, and thought I was purchasing a book of the same quality. No doubt the stories are delightful, but I'll never know if I cannot understand the narrator.

Wonderful story- wrong narrator
The wonderful stories of John Mortimer were brought to life by Leo McKern on Masterpiece Theatre when I was a kid. Timothy West's narration was a perfect imitation of this. Maybe I'm just spoiled but Frederick Davidson just sounds snotty. Not the dry, sarcastic, humourous old curmudgeon I've come to know and love. Still, the stories are wonderful and worth listening to.

Part of the Book is Missing
Great stories (five stars), but the audio ends in the middle of the last story with the court still in session. Then you hear the words, "Audible hopes you have enjoyed this program." Where is the missing material?
