Case of the Horrified Heirs, T | Erle Stanley Gardner

Pickpick

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

This is a pick only because I feel nostalgic toward this juvenile mystery series (my favourite when I was young). It feels very dated now. On the other hand, I still appreciate the puzzles set out by the author and the cleverness of the investigators, which was what appealed to me most when I was a child.

7th book finished for #FabulousFebruary @Andrew65

TheAromaofBooks I don't remember hearing for this series before!! 2y
kwmg40 @Laurelhel @batsy Nice to see other fans (or former fans) of this series! I thought there weren't too many of us here who would remember it. 2y
kwmg40 @Librarybelle Yes, it is fun. I loved all the juvenile mystery series that were so popular when I was a child. 2y
kwmg40 @TheAromaofBooks It's not surprising you'd not heard of this series. Sadly, it went out of print because of a copyright dispute, which still hasn't been resolved, so it's hard to find the books. 2y
Andrew65 Great 👏👏👏 2y
FlowerFairy Oh wow! So excited to see someone else who loved this series as a child! And I loved the cover art as much as I did the stories. 2y
kwmg40 @FlowerFairy I loved the covers too. I had a good number of books from this series, but my Mom gave them all away to my younger cousins. I'm still sad about that, but glad that others got to enjoy the books. 2y
