Eh. A guy trying to explain the inner workings of the female psyche? It wasn't a big part of the book, but what little was there drove me a little mad.

I will say it was a DARN clever mystery. I had all the clues and still couldn't figure it out. Nicely done.

Some distasteful people in this one. He kept me wondering until the last chapter.

An easy, enjoyable read, as all the Perry Masons seem to be! I love Perry Mason courtroom scenes and this was a fun one. 

"You've talked with your wife before coming here? She knows you're consulting me?"
"No."
"Why?"
"I don't know just how to explain it so you'll understand."
"I don't know how I can understand unless you do explain it."
"I'd have to begin at the beginning and tell you the whole story."
"I thought that's what you were doing."
"I was trying to."
"Well, go ahead."
"She tried to drug me."

Wham! Bam! Thank you, Perry Mason. :)

If you want someone pulling a fast legal one on your enemies, he is you man ... lawyer .... defense attorney.

It's one of the early cases out of more than 80 books and it is fast and furious.

Grand Fun

Perry is such a fantastic character! And the people he runs into in the course of his work are such well drawn, life like characters too. This is such a fun twisty read.

I like Perry Mason. And Della. And Paul.
I liked the Doorbells and buzzers in this one. Clever one.
