Book Synopsis

Summer''s Lease - the classic, international bestselling novel by John Mortimer

''Amusing, entertaining ... and a cracking good read'' Sunday Express

''And summer''s lease hath all too short a date'' - Sonnet 18, William Shakespeare

It''s high summer when Molly Pargeter drags her amiably bickering family to a rented Tuscan villa for the holidays. Molly is sure that the house is the perfect setting for their three-week getaway, but soon she becomes fascinated by the lives of the absent owners - and things start to go horribly wrong ...

''With a cosy fluency of wit, Mortimer charms us into his urbane tangle of clues'' Mail on Sunday

Summer''s Lease, which was made into popular BBC TV mini-series starring John Gielgud, is a delightful novel from Rumpole author John Mortimer: witty, compassionate, humane, perfectly plotted and wonderfully readable. It will be adored by readers of P.G Wodehouse and P.D. James.
