I suspect if you enjoy "Rumpole of the Baily" you'll also enjoy this series about the British law system and solicitors. This particular book deals with with the British tax system. I thought our tax system was complicated but now I feel sorry for the Brits.

The book deals with the legal aspects of tax shelters. I suspect since some aspects of Britain life embrace socialism, as in its Health Service, they need to find ways to financially support it, thereby driving it citizens to seek complicated tax shelters under British law. It was certainly confusing to me in parts. I could understand why someone would resort to murder.

And unlike Richard M.'s review, I instinctively felt that Professor Hilaray Tamar was a women. The other women characters in the novel really opened up to Tamar, even in discussion of sex. Based on my experience I don't think most women would do this with a man.
