Finally, I get the chance to read about Rumpole in his early days. And I always wondered how he got snared by Hilda, something he always seems to regret in his other books. Now I know how that happened.

These are mysteries with the major emphasis not on the crimes, but on how Horace gets the criminals off, or not. And then there's the wit. If you're looking for a light mystery with a jovial story, the Rumpole books are your best bet.
