Book cover

Tutt and Mr. Tutt by Arthur Cheney Train is a legal fiction collection that brings readers into the fascinating world of law and courtroom drama. Set in the early 1900s, the story revolves around Ephraim Tutt, a shrewd and unconventional lawyer, and his dedicated assistant, Timothy, known as Mr. Tutt.

The book is divided into several short stories, each presenting a unique and compelling case. Train's writing style is witty and engaging, making it easy for readers to be fully immersed in the legal predicaments that Tutt and Mr. Tutt find themselves in. The author, who was a lawyer himself, incorporates his extensive knowledge and experiences into the narratives, providing an authentic backdrop for the legal proceedings.

Tutt, with his intriguing mix of sharp intellect and clever strategies, is a standout character. His unorthodox methods and willingness to break the rules in pursuit of justice make him an endearing and memorable protagonist. The chemistry between Tutt and Mr. Tutt adds an extra layer of charm to the stories, as their contrasting personalities complement each other remarkably well.

The collection covers a wide range of legal issues, from high-stakes murder cases to smaller disputes. Each story showcases Train's skill in crafting suspenseful and thought-provoking narratives. The pacing is well-executed, keeping readers engaged from start to finish, with unexpected twists and turns along the way.

Another commendable aspect of Train's writing is his ability to address complex legal concepts in a way that is accessible to non-lawyers. He explains legal procedures and terminologies in layman's terms, allowing readers to grasp the intricacies of the cases without feeling overwhelmed.

While the stories primarily revolve around the legal proceedings themselves, Train also weaves in social commentary, touching on issues of class, prejudice, and morality. These thematic undertones add depth and relevance to the narratives, making them resonate beyond the confines of the courtroom.

Overall, Tutt and Mr. Tutt is an entertaining and enlightening read for both legal enthusiasts and general fiction lovers. Arthur Cheney Train masterfully combines suspense, wit, and legal expertise to create a series of captivating stories. Through the exploits of Tutt and Mr. Tutt, Train reminds us that justice can be achieved through unconventional means, and that the law is not always as black and white as it may seem.

"Yes," he repeated plaintively. "He don't make any bones about it at all. 'Sure, I killed him!' says he. 'And I'd kill him again, the !' I prefer not to quote his exact language. I've just come from the Tombs and had quite a talk with Serafino in the counsel room, with a gum chewing keeper sitting in the corner watching me for fear I'd slip his prisoner a saw file or a shotgun or a barrel of poison.
