The Third Judge Walden Novel

‘Warm, witty and endearingly entertaining’ Joanne Owen, LoveReading

‘Wickedly addictive read’ Yvonne Bastian

Charlie Walden, the irrepressible Resident Judge (RJ) of Bermondsey Crown Court is back to preside over five new cases.

As ever, there is little rest for the RJ as he does his best to deal with: the church-going carer who steals from the old lady under her care, the cleaver-wielding chefs wth different ideas about how to make a Caesar salad, the man with a penchant for ‘marrying’ multiple women, and the astrological guru accused of fraud.

Not to mention the shock-horror when colleagues get into trouble – Judge Hubert Drake for writing an angry letter to the press, and Judge Marjorie Jenkins for storing suspected pornography on her judicial computer.

Oh, and the ongoing wars against the Grey Smoothies, who try to frustrate Charlie at every turn with their bureaucracy and their endless quest for value for money for the taxpayer.
