Synopsis

Perry Mason and Della Street were both out to lunch. Gertie, the receptionist and telephone operator, was indulging in her favorite noontime occupation - munching chocolates and reading a love story - when the door burst open and a woman rushed in. Gertie got her name, all right, dimly registered the fact that she was not only very attractive buy very upset at having to wait for Mason, and Gertie even looked up when the woman left before he returned. But vicarious romance was the rule of that day - much to the annoyance of Lt. Tragg when he later tried to piece together what had happened. And although his plan for surprising Gertie into a identification of the lady was ingenious, Perry's counter-measure was even more so...

"You think you can show them what actually happened?" Mason said, "I can show them what could have happened, and the prosecution can't prove it didn't happen." When I get a sudden craving for a murder mystery with a bunch of legal and courtroom shenanigan, I go straight to my man Perry Mason. This tim......more

Goodreads review by Payal on June 05, 2021

Not the best by Gardner I would say. 70 % of the book is just conversation with zero action. The last 30 % of the book is about court scenes where again the mystery is solved in just arguments and cross examination. Not your edge of the seat thriller. More like a puzzle or a riddle.......more
