Product Description

Product Description
A hallowed place it may be, but No 5 Caper Court in the Inner Temple is riddled with rumour and uncertainty. The head of chambers is dying; there is a move afoot to leave the Temple for Lincoln's Inn; and Leo Davies, the QC with the charmed and amoral life, is about to take one risk too many. Behind him lie a failed marriage, a string of lovers, and a habit of seductive cruelty which, until now, has left him unscathed. But at least two chickens are coming home to roost: Rachel, his ex-wife and a lawyer herself is ready to do anything necessary to protect her son from his father; and Sarah Colman, who arguably knows more of Leo's secrets than anyone, has come to be a pupil at Caper Court. Then there is Joshua, beautiful, uncommitted - and looking for a safe haven.

4.0 out of 5 stars More emotionial intrigues from 5 Caper Court, 29 Nov 2000
Lovers of the intrigue that always surrounds 5 Caper Court will be excited at the prospect of another thumping good read.

The usual characters from the barristers chamber are here - Leo Davies, Anthony Cross, Rachel, Charles Beecham, Felicity, Camilla, Henry and the return of Sarah Coleman to add further tension to the emotional intigues that entangle these closely knit companions.

Caro Fraser certainly scores highly on the level of passion her characters achieve, but this booked seemed to miss the theme of a strong commercial law case, and some of the outcomes of the twisting relationships had become a little predictable.

Still, it did not spoil the book, and the last pages sufficinetly revealed another emotional tangle that hopefully predicts a further 5 Caper Court novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellently continues exploits of Anthony and Leo, 22 Mar 2001
By A Customer
Fraser continues to develop the legal and sexual exploits of Anthony Cross and Leo with her usual skilled incisive style; the characters are ageing well and convincingly; the relationships are portrayed acutely and with a sophisticatedly disguised soap-style. The legal expertise of the author underpins the more superficial levels and enriches the plot quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars An extremely good read. You won't want to put it down., 12 Nov 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: A Hallowed Place (Paperback)
This book is the fourth of Caro Fraser's which focusses upon the lives and loves of the barristers at 5 Caper Court.

It is extremely well written and is a gripping read. Once started, you will want to read it from cover to cover in one sitting. It's primary focus is not so much on the law itself, but the situations that the barristers find themselves in, whether in chambers, in a courtroom or in a wine bar.

I read the first of Fraser's novels in this series and loved it. I couldn't wait for more. It is nice to have a continuous theme and it feels as if you are going home to characters that you know really well.

After finishing A Hallowed Place recently, I am waiting avidly for the next novel in the series to be published.
