The Case of the Horrified Heirs

Perry Mason Series, Book 73

By: Erle Stanley Gardner

Narrated by: Alexander Cendese

Virginia Baxter is the only witness still living who can vouch for the authenticity of Lauretta Trent's will. Lauretta Trent, a wealthy widow is also living. But for how long? Someone has been peppering the spicy food Lauretta loves with arsenic. Could it be the same someone who tried framing Virginia Baxter for drug smuggling?

Lauretta Trent doesn't trust her greedy heirs. But could a scheming servant be behind a master plan to fleece her estate? It all seems to fit. But when Lauretta is murdered on the highway, all the evidence places Virginia Baxter squarely in the driver's seat. Confused? Just think how Virginia's lawyer, Perry Mason, must feel....

Alexander Cendese is a great performer.

Erle Stanley Gardner was called the greatest writer of the 20th century by Evelyn Waugh. He wrote very readable mysteries for sure. Alexander Cendese makes these Perry Mason mysteries come alive with his voices and interpretation. It is a pleasure listening to him perform.

Always great

Great story and fantastic narration. Have enjoyed all of the Perry Mason audio books available on Audible.
