Milne_Red House Mystery

Wodehouse without the humour. Milne takes some time to work his way into this murder mystery, almost as if he’s envisaging it as a play rather than a novel. A good read once it gets going, especially as performed by Bill Wallis.

 

 

The Trials of Rumpole

The Trials of Rumpole

by John Mortimer (Penguin, 1981); audiobook read by Bill Wallis (Bolinda, 2014)

Mortimer_Trials Rumpole

Rumpole continues in his oratorically pugilistic, poetic way to champion the virtues of impartial legal defence, winning when his clients are guilty and losing when they are innocent. The book has dated rather better than the show on which it was based.
