Katherine Ellis, entered Perry Mason's office, smiled at Della Street and asked: "What did you want to see me about, Mr. Mason?" "Sit down, Katherine,"" Perry said. "Have you heard anything from your aunt today?" Katherine shook her head. "Have you heard anything about her?" "About her? Why? Is there something I should know?" "Your aunt was assaulted sometime last night -- apparently by an intruder who struck her on the head with a big five-cell flashlight and ..." "Why that's my flashlight," Katherine exclaimed. The door to the outer office opened and Police Lt. Tragg came walking in. "How do you do, Della," he said. "Hello, Perry. You'll pardon me for coming in unannounced, but I take it this is Katherine Ellis. I'm sorry to state that I have a warrant for her arrest for assault with intent to commit murder -- and the charge may be changed to murder!" nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

When Kit arrived she found a different situation. She was staying with her aunt but she also needed to get a job to cover her expenses and hopefully afford to get her own apartment. Not having ever worked before, Kit landed a waitress job and was learning the ropes. Meanwhile she was also noticing some strange thing about her Aunt Sophia.
Seems Aunt Sophia had married a Gerald Atwood. Atwood had recently died and his ex-wife was claiming all property that Atwood owned. There was a question of the legality of Atwood's divorce and remarriage.
Things really break open when Sophia is assaulted in her home. Kit is the immediate suspect, and things become worse when she is accused of stealing money from the woman. The accuser is a 'friend' of Sophia.
Perry Mason steps in to solve the mysteries involved.
I've enjoyed Perry Mason since I was a kid and I wasn't let down with this book. ( )
