Critic Reviews

"Bill Wallis is perfect as the dry-witted and clever Rumpole... The brilliance of this audio is in the voices Wallis uses to portray each individual, displaying a wide range of dialects and accents so seamless and so suited to each that the listener will forget that only one person is doing the narration. Rumpole's asides, internal meanderings, and quotations of poetry and other commentary are conveyed with the humor they deserve in this thoroughly enjoyable collection." (AudioFile)

Rumpole's Last Case

A very clever and humorous script, superbly narrated by Wallis. Rumpole's subtle sarcasm towards the judge, his wife and some colleagues is often infused with a sad flavor of self deprecation as his career nears its end.
