johnnyb1954's review against another edition
4.0
3.5. Another early book where Mason is more detective than lawyer - there are no courtroom scenes. And Della is not yet the confident right hand of Perry.
Pretty easy to spot the murderer but Mason’s actions keep things interesting.

meh. this one wasn't good. seems like Gardner is still experimenting. the resolution was delivered as a long "confession" with Mason reciting the story and some additional elements to reveal the murderer.

Such fun
I loved the Perry Mason books when I first read them as a teenager, and I'm really delighted to find that I like them quite as much now that I'm quite a few years older. Perry and Della and Paul are awesome characters.
