4.0

Not as unexpectedly moving as the first book, but just as enjoyable. I'm binge-reading, and I haven't done that in a long time. Once again Rumpole has a series of legal cases to try, and once again, whether he wins or loses, the stories are richly satisfying and the resolutions seem appropriate and earned.

(Note: 5 stars = amazing, wonderful, 4 = very good book, 3 = decent read, 2 = disappointing, 1 = awful, just awful. I'm fairly good at picking for myself so end up with a lot of 4s.)
