This is my first Perry Mason book and if this is any indication of the rest of the series I'll dive into the 30 or so other novels I have. I've been collecting them for years, mostly due to the Robert McGinnis paintings used for the covers. Guess I'll be reading more!

This was a very engaging and fun book to read. it was also well written. It moved very fast and yet the characters were well presented. The backdrop was more than a little sketchy and often it was hard to imagine the area the characters were in.

There is a part at the end that was a real fling of the imagination and I don't believe would happen in real life. That part involves getting characters to fly some place.

Still this was a good book and I do like the Mason character and see why so many have for 70+ years.
