"Quit running," Velma shouted, her voice sharp with exasperation. "I've seen underwear before." ( )

Velma Starler, a nurse caring for a mining investor with a weak heart, hers what sounds like a mosquito in the night --when she gets up, someone shoots at her. ( )

Not one of Gardner's finest efforts. The local color of prospectors was about the only redeeming quality. Plus Perry's proposal makes it worth reading. ( )

This was my first Perry Mason book, and I have to say it was quite good. It all came together in the end, and I didn't guess whodunnit, so that is good, and the writing is very good, but there was a lot of stuff about mining and law that I had trouble following and had to check back on. I spent a good deal of time re-reading due to all of the technicalities and twisty turns and stuff, so... overall, a good book, but not NEARLY as quick a read as I expected! ( )
