Gardner's Perry Mason is one of the most beloved characters in fiction and on the television screen. Gardner, who was a well known criminal defense attorney in Ventura, California, wrote dozens and dozens of Perry Mason mysteries. How he found time to actually practice law is the mystery, but perhaps once he started, these books wrote themselves. In many ways, Perry Mason follows in the Sherlock Holmes tradition with deductive reasoning being the key.

This mystery has very little action, very little violence, very little romance. Yet, once you start reading it, it is nearly impossible to put down. Gardner was that great a writer. This one starts with a brief description of the murder and what follows is mainly lawyering and deductive reasoning with Mason catching the perpetrator in a small lie. Obviously, the description given by the publisher is for a different Perry Mason mystery. This one takes place when Mason is trying to take a few days off in the mountains and finds himself involved in the small mountain town's greatest mystery as a woman, trying to protect her daughter from scandal, ends up in hot water herself with every piece of evidence pointing toward her guilt.

This is a perfect example of the Perry Mason series. They are great reads. Highly recommended.

Despite the misspellings early on in the book (Arthur was sometimes spelled Authur or Author), this was a really good mystery. The conclusion was logical, and the mystery was good... and I just like it when Perry is an ass and wins. ( )

formulaic as usual but perhaps partly for that reason, I always enjoy these Perry Mason books.

Probably not one of the best but after all they are all much of a much ness.

Will continue to read them though
