Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

As a lifelong fan of the Rumpole series, I was thrilled to return to the world of Horace Rumpole, the irascible and lovable barrister. Leo McKern's narration is as impeccable as ever, capturing Rumpole's dry wit and world-weary charm with ease. The setting of Florida provides a fresh backdrop for Rumpole's exploits, and Mortimer's clever plotting keeps the listener engaged from start to finish. However, I did find the pacing to be a bit rushed at times, which occasionally detracts from the overall impact of the story. Despite this minor critique, Rumpole's Return is a delightful audiobook that is sure to please fans of legal thrillers and mystery enthusiasts alike.
