Case of the Horrified Heirs, T
Case of the Horrified Heirs, T | Erle Stanley Gardner
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
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 still 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 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.

This is one of the later Perry Mason novels, and I‘ve read other reviews that called it rushed and formulaic. While I agree in part with this assessment, there is something about watching Mason figure out the culprit that makes everything worthwhile. I also keep picturing Raymond Burr delivering the dialogue! A fun, quick read. #192025 #1964
