Good and entertaining - but Mortimer was reaching the end of his tether. Either the characters were played out or he was - but the novel seemed artificial and contrived. Interesting in the context of the ASBO - which in a younger Mortimer would have surely yielded more vitriol and ire. The ASBOs are an insult to the English legal system or any other civilized nation. It is a scandal and deserved more anger than this novel could bring to bear. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Meanwhile, Rumpole gets the chance to defend, "alone and without a leader," a man accused of murdering a prostitute. He has other cases, too, all of which seem to conveniently aid him in defending the man being tried for murder.
As for the misbehavior mentioned in the title, Rumpole ignores a workplace directive prohibiting food, drink and smoking in chambers. The barrister manages to defend himself as ably as he defends his clients.
This is hardly one of the late John Mortimer's best Rumpole stories, yet it is great fun and not to be missed by fans of the series. ( )
