Rumpole and the angel of death by John Mortimer

Rumpole and the angel of death by John Mortimer contains several humorous short stories about the British barrister Horace Rumpole. The mysteries here are not particularly complex which is actually nice. It seems like a lot of authors these days think they have to do extremely complicated things. Most of the stories turn on the frailty of people. There's some social commentary mixed in as well modern society political correctness, modern business practices, terrorism and euthanasia. The characters are basically parities but they are quite funny.
