A Trial in Three Acts by Guy Morpuss is the first book of his I’ve read so far. The trial procedures described are quite fascinating. The protagonist here is eminent lawyer Charles Konig, tasked with defending a famous actor charged with the murder of his wife – also an actor. The crime takes place on stage, in front of a full house when the victim is guillotined. As I could have told them – just asking for trouble, really. Anyway, heads literally roll.
I loved it so much I’m trying another by the same author Five Minds. Five people occupying the same body! Should be interesting.
Have you enjoyed this book?
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I was sent a proof by the publishers (I had previously read one of Guy Morpuss's books). For anyone who loves 'Rumpole of the Bailey'!
