Description
Readers find much to like in the oddball characters and clever dialogue of extremely versatile writer John Clifford Mortimer. A barrister himself, Mortimer is best known for his Rumpole of the Bailey legal mysteries. His irascible detective, Horace Rumpole, is a sharp-witted criminal defense barrister who has more than his share of comic mishaps on the way to solving mysteries. Definitely more cozy than thriller, the plotting is strong, but his fans love him for his vivid characterization and witty prose. Mortimer's other novels feature similar wit and characterization, though they are not mysteries. Start with: Rumpole of the Bailey
