A Rumpole Christmas
Have a Rumpole Christmas with five of the late John Mortimer’s charming holiday stories. Published only in magazines, they’re collected here in book form for the first time. Horace Rumpole isn’t a big fan of Christmas—time tends to drag as the usual rituals are observed. The criminal element rarely takes a holiday, though, so the great barrister’s festivities have been disrupted in welcome ways. Whether it’s a Father Christmas who behaves suspiciously at Equity Court’s Christmas party or a high-profile murder trial that comes up just before the holiday season or a body found at the health spa where Rumpole is trying to survive a diet of yak’s milk and spinach, there’s always something exciting to liven up the dull days of Christmas.
