Great legal murder mystery set in the 1950s/1960s Los Angeles art world
I got into Perry Mason back when the original television series was on the air. Later I started enjoying the novels. Now, there's a certain period charm to these clever legal mysteries set in the Los Angeles of fading mass transit, apartment buildings, telephone operators, beatniks living in lofts, mining speculators and the gutter press. Perry Mason has a reputation as a defendant's lawyer in murder cases, but not every case he takes involves murder. In this book, it's a defamation suit in the Los Angeles art world. As usual, someone is murdered, and Mason, with is legal secretary, Della Street, and his poor overworked private detective, Paul Drake, has the struggle to stay ahead of the game. It takes brainpower, legwork and legal acumen to figure out what is going on, but Perry Mason again comes through.
Another great read! I gave five stars in spite of ...
Another great read! I gave five stars in spite of the typographical errors which seem to be common in all Kindle books.
Poor scanning job
An okay Perry Mason thriller, but such a poor scanning job that the very frequent errors were distracting and annoying. On several occasions I had to stop and puzzle out what the missing or wrong words were supposed to be or, due to missing quotation marks and paragraphing errors, whether the same or another person was speaking. Obviously the book was run through the scanner with no proofing or concern about quality.
It kept me engaged
I did figure it out before the ending but I really enjoyed the process. I love the mental challenge it gave.
Go back in time relive the 1940's
Erle Stanley Gardner is fabulous quick read mystery.
