Why read it?
1 author picked Rumpole of the Bailey as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I first met Rumpole, the Old Bailey Hack, as he called himself, on the PBS Masterpiece series. John Mortimer’s books about the curmudgeonly old barrister are even more delightful. As a former trial attorney, I love how the collections of short stories in his books give me a peek inside the British legal system—and how they present plenty of puzzles to solve, filled with irascible good wit.
From Cathy's list on for people who think they don’t like true crime.
