Anybody got any good recommendations for this? I'm only really interested in UK stuff at the moment. Off the top of my head I already know Strong Poison, Paying Guests, Appletree Yard, Witness for the Prosecution. I tried googling but it's all swamped by US stuff and movies. As realistic as possible, please. I like all the detail. Thank you.

All the Rumpole books. Written by John Mortimer, who was a barrister.
