From AudioFile
Bill Wallis is wonderful in every respect. For starters, he sounds exactly like Leo McKernÕs Rumpole, of BBC television. He also believably personifies everyone from officious wife Hilda to Soapy Sam, Fig Newton, and the various lowlifes who constitute RumpoleÕs clientele. His multicharacter dialogue is unparalleled, and his pacing is never too fast or too slow. While plot is often secondary to the pleasures of characterization and commentary in this series, the present entry offers two tracks. One deals with Rumpole applying for QueenÕs Counsel and Hilda (!) contemplating a career at the bar. The other involves three apparently disparate criminal cases which--surprise--turn out not to be wholly unrelated. R.E.K.
