Another intriguing Perry Mason mystery

Fine mystery with a twist of an ending. Slightly different than the tv series' version.

Great

Another excellent Perry Mason book. Narrator is incredible. It's great to play the guessing game.

Sifting Through the Lies...

Gardiner has a gift for creating interesting legal situations. In this case, a woman is about to be put on trial for a murder where the body hasn't been found. The evidence against her is strong and compelling--except that the reader knows that she's telling the truth in her story. (Also, Perry Mason never ends up defending guilty people.) So, as always, it's a question of how will Mason find the evidence he needs to clear his client.

It's a dastardly plot but Mason is in fine form as he sifts through the lies to find the one clue that makes it absolutely certain his client has been framed.

Great series (Even better than the TV series)

oh no...I was so excited...because listed below were the next 5 or 6 books in the series...but when I went to buy them a sign popped up "Ah shucks this item isn't available"...so disappointing. Alexander Cendese does a great job narrating this series and I sure hope the rest of the series becomes available again soon. I've purchased all the books that were available (40 give or take a few) and I sure would like to purchase the other 40. I've listened to all the ones available TWICE and am having Perry Mason withdrawal!!!

A good one

I’ve read dozens of these Perry Mason stories and this is my favorite. Plus the narrator, Alexander Cendese, is perfect for the Erle Stanley Gardner tales. Highly recommended.
