Original price: $0.35. ( )

This book certainly had an interesting title (and a pulpy cover to go with it), and it also ended up being a page-turner that I enjoyed more than anticipated. Mason's behaviour is at times questionable (such as why does he have a drawer full of chequebooks for every bank in town?), and Addison makes for an annoyingly obtuse client, but Mason carries the day in the end, as you would expect. I was able to predict some elements of the plot before Mason did, but the story moved along so fast that he was able to catch up with me soon enough.

I have a few more Perry Masons on my shelves and hope that they all go as fast as this one did. ( )

An excellent Perry Mason novel. ( )
