About this listen

A gritty urban legal thriller you don’t want to miss! Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Robert Bailey, Michael Connelly and Robert Dugoni.

Has Charles picked the wrong side…?

London, 1969: The Kray twins, the nemeses of Charles Holborne, barrister, are finally convicted of multiple murders and sent away for the longest prison terms ever imposed by a British court. But with London in the grip of a housing crisis and unscrupulous landlords hiking rents, there are new ruthless enforcers terrorizing destitute East Enders. When a tenant dies during a violent altercation with bailiffs, Charles is instructed to represent the businessmen charged with conspiracy to murder.

There is motive, an eyewitness, and a confession–seemingly an open and shut case. But Charles suspects his clients are pawns in a much more dangerous game being played by shadowy Establishment figures. But are his instincts wrong this time? Is he being manipulated into defending a guilty man? And as dark secrets are revealed, will he have to choose between moral integrity and professional success?

DEATH, ADJOURNED is the ninth crime novel in an exciting historical series, the Charles Holborne Legal Thrillers—gritty, hard-boiled mysteries set in 1960s London.

The story started a bit slowly, but gradually emerged into a fascinating web of intrigue. The details of the British law courts are very interesting as they are in the rest of this great Charles Holborne series. Well worth a read.

Having read all of Simon Michaels previous books I was excited to find this new title . However , I was very disappointed in the story . While interesting in its content , there seemed to be a lot missing this time . Too much dry courtroom jargon which seemed interminable and dragging and all very slow paced . I got the impression this book was just hammered out to a formula .

Disappointed
