Publisher's Summary:
It all began when pretty Gladys Doyle lost her way and was forced to spend the night in a remote cabin. The next morning she discovered her handsome host gone and a stranger in his place - dead as the proverbial herring.
There follows a courtroom scene in the best Perry Mason tradition, with a most reticent group of witnesses: a lady author whose realistic novel is a bit too true to life; Edgar Carlisle, equally talented at telling stories; Richard Gilman, an old hand at the disappearing act; and a smart, sharp operator never at a loss for clever plots.
Action and suspense are at their height and the adroit Mason at his legal best in this superb mystery.
Members Reviews:
Very bad editing. Very good story
Terrible editing in the Kindle edition. Many uncorrected typos and misspelings, lessening the enjoyment of a very good story
Good book, bad scanning
A good Perry Mason read with the usual twists and turns. I deducted a star because of the really poor scanning job. The Kindle version was filled with typos and gibberish characters that any spell checker would have caught. They appeared frequently enough to be annoying. Run your spell checker, people.
Good read... Start to finish
Quintessential Perry Mason. A clever who-dunnit that will keep you turning pages. The plot unfolds fast with an unconventional court room climax!
Five Stars
I like all Perry Mason book. Very thought out and interesting.
Irritating, unsatisfying Perry Mason mystery
If you are a new reader to the Perry Mason series do not make this your starting point. I haven't read a Perry Mason mystery in more years than I care to count but I am still familiar with them. Looking for a good Mason case to read I was intrigued by the description provided for the book here. Don't be fooled! This is one of the most annoying books I have suffered through in some time. The plot begins well but too soon the characters all become sources of painful irritation. The normally lively banter between Mason and Tragg seems draggy and lifeless; the mystery is incredibly contrived and has too many plot conveniences; an ever astute Perry makes a simply unbelievable sighting of a key witness. Then, near the end of the book, two of the characters exhibit exasperating behavior that Gardner seems to believe adds to the readers enjoyment. It doesn't - it aggravates all the more! And finally the payoff isn't at all acceptable. I may return here to buy another Perry Mason book sometime in the future, but I won't be holding my breath until then.
