A carefu...I must take issue with the above review. A careful reader will note that Mason does not take the case for the very reasons the above reviewer objected to. It is only after Drake finds evidence of the duplicity of Montrose Dewitt (you gotta love those crazy names!) that perhaps Linda Calhoun's suspicions are plausible. It is only after Perry realizes that the aunt may truly be in danger that he jumps into action. <br /> The courtroom scene, as acknowledged above, is a knockout as the arrogant local attorney boasts that Perry can "cross-examine to his heart's content". Due to his grandstanding the judge allows Perry to do just that! A terrific read if you like Perry Mason. 5 Stars!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
