Free Books

[caddyman]

The free book in today's Times is Rumpole and the Penge Bungalow Murders by John Mortimer.

It has taken me all week to realise - and this is for the benefit probably, of keith_london, get the paper from a supermarket rather than a newsagent. The promotion seems to be working better there than in other outlets.

Right; I'm going to get a coffee, a sandwich and do the sudoku before washing up.

That's the only Rumpole book I've ever read. L bought it for me as a present because we live in Penge.

Which he defended alone and without a leader....

Rumpole, in every other Rumpole story, tells anyone prepared to listen that his first success as a junior was the Penge Bungalow Murders, in which he appeared for the defence "alone and without a leader", though never gives any other detail. The book which you got free today is a recent addition to the Rumpole stories, written by Mortimer in response to numerous requests over the years to put some flesh on the bones of the case.

Oh OK I should be better prepared next time! I note some others (students) have, like me, been a little puzzled. I don't think it's advertised on the printed paper itself.

and you can always bookcross the books when you have finished with them - ask Ellefurtle to show you her bookcrossing page.
That's if she can remember her password
