 With
Rumpole Rests His Case, legions of fans welcomed back the curmudgeonly
London barrister they had savored for years. In Rumpole and the Primrose
Path's six new stories, Horace Rumpole, despite a heart attack that left
him at death's door in the previous volume, deftly parries everything
from the admonitions of his wife, Hilda, to the vagaries of his legal
colleagues and their new director of marketing, Luci-with her cell
phone, corporate jargon, and glossy brochures, hired to give their
chambers a new image |

A
Christmas Journey By Anne Perry
Readers of
Anne Perry’s bestselling suspense novels revel in
a world that is all
their own, sharing the privileged existence of
Britain’s wealthy and powerful elite in West End
mansions and great country houses. It is also a
world in which danger bides in unsuspected places
and the line between good and evil can be razor
thin. This new novel features Lady Vespasia
Cumming-Gould–one of the most memorable characters
from the Thomas Pitt series–who appears here as a
lively young woman, the ultimate aristocrat who can
trace her blood to half the royal houses of Europe.
It’s Christmas and the Berkshire countryside lies
wrapped in winter chill. But the well-born guests
who have gathered at Applecross for a delicious
weekend of innocent intrigue and passionate romance
are warmed by roaring fires and candlelight, holly
and mistletoe, good wine and gorgeously wrapped
gifts. |
