Aug 20, Michael Brown rated it liked it Shelves: series-reading. Mason finally goes into court. First time in a long while. No Trask. No Berger. And is still a bit of a wimp. Mason is far more a detective so far. And his main antagonist is Sgt. Holcomb and over the past few books it is obvious that he has some mental issues. Good mystery but not my favorite of the series so far by far. Jan 15, Jyotika Varmani rated it really liked it Recommends it for: All mystery and courtroom drama lovers! This book scores for how it captures the reader's interest by never offering a dull moment. Well, this is true for all of the books in the Perry Mason Series. The particularly interesting part for me in this one is when Mason gets on the nerves of the homicide officers interrogating Aunt Sarah - it is hilarious! What does not appeal to me about this book is how Mason develops a soft corner for Aunt Sarah at first sight. Also, the climax is quite predictable if you've read a few of the books in This book scores for how it captures the reader's interest by never offering a dull moment. Also, the climax is quite predictable if you've read a few of the books in this series and from the characterization. It could have been a bit more subtle.

Now, after a lot of water over the dam, I'm looking at them again. Those who are used to really fine mystery writers with the emphasis on "writer" , such as Ross Macdonald, may find the writing style here off-putting. It can be stiff and repetitious. Tragg, and I've been reading Gardner's Perry Mason books off and on for a long time. Tragg, and Hamilton Berger. That, and the ingenious plots, are why I read Perry Mason. On the whole, the ones written by are the best. This one was written in and is typical of the early books in the series. Mason is a fighter, and he loves it. Some of the police and prosecutors are hard-boiled. There is often a film-noir feel, but not so much in this one. Mason skirts around the edge of law, and so do some of the police. The story begins with Perry and Della eating lunch in a department store large department stores used to routinely have restaurants within them. They are casually looking at their fellow diners when a serene white haired woman in a nearby table is accosted by a store detective for shoplifting. He says he will have to arrest her right there in public if she won't come away with him. She is unperturbed, but her young niece, Virginia, is upset and nervous. Perry intervenes, pointing out that you can't arrest someone for shoplifting unless they leave the store with goods. Eventually the manager arrives, realizes that Perry is right, and Virginia hastily pays for the items her Aunt Sarah had stashed. After lunch, Perry and Della muse on the strange behavior of the aunt, who certainly didn't seem to be the shoplifter type, though she clearly intended to do so. That would seem to be the end of it, but no, that afternoon Virginia comes to Mason's office and tells an unusual story. Her aunt and uncle the aunt's brother are in the jewelry business. They often get old diamond jewelry, refurbish them and sell them. That's great except the uncle, George, sometimes goes off on drunken binges. Apparently he has just done so, and some valuable diamonds are missing. And Aunt Sarah is acting strangely also. They got the diamonds from an associate named Austin Cullens who said they belong to a Mrs. Virginia is worried because Mrs. Bedford just phoned her to return the diamonds early, and now Aunt Sarah has disappeared too! Perry is mulling over what to do when suddenly Cullens and Mrs. Bedford also show up at the office. The four of them have a talk. They agree to search for both George and Sarah. The plot thickens when later that night Cullens is found murdered in his house and Aunt Sarah is struck by a car right in front of the house. Her handbag contains a gun. Her shoes are blood stained, so she must have been in the room with the body. The police think that "obviously" she murdered Cullens, though she claims amnesia because of the car accident. And who exactly is this driver who struck her? The story then becomes complicated due to a second murder, some shady characters who run a gambling joint, the fact that Mrs. Bedford is not exactly who she seems to be, and that Virginia has a boy friend who often takes her shooting. Soon there are two guns; were they switched by the police? Aunt Sarah goes on trial for the murder of Austin Cullens and Perry defends her. All of this is well written and intriguing. The courtroom scenes are excellent. One of the key witness for the prosecution turns out to be Sergeant Holcomb, who is quite combative both on and off the witness stand. Sergeant Holcomb is Mason's opponent in most of the earlier Perry Mason novels. He is "old school", combative, stubborn, uneducated, willing to stretch the law. But his actions here go further, becoming unprofessional. One can imagine that Gardner must have received a lot of criticism from police groups due to the way Holcomb is portrayed. As the years went by, Holcomb was deemphasized by Gardner and replaced with Lieutenant Tragg, who is educated and professional. However, twenty-first century readers need to keep in mind that the sort of police and prosecutor activity portrayed here actually occurred in those days. We'd like to think it no longer does Recurring character: older white haired woman who is unflappable and knows what she is doing. As I got to the last few chapters, I began to form an idea of how the two murders were done. I was not wrong, though as usual I didn't guess all of it. This is not one of my favorite novels. For one reason there is no strong love interest. For another, it lacks the appealing settings of many others: remote mountain cabins, ocean voyage, desert. Still, definitely recommended. Apr 12, DavidO rated it really liked it Shelves: 4-orstars. The most interesting parts of this case were the first chapter where Perry Mason watches an old woman shoplift, and the resolution of the case which surprised me. There were some weird events that occurred in this book that I don't know are due to changing laws or changing because Gardner was trying to make things more exciting. First a police sergeant takes a swing at a assistant DA and there are no repercussions for it. Second, the police sequester away the accused and deny her the right to The most interesting parts of this case were the first chapter where Perry Mason watches an old woman shoplift, and the resolution of the case which surprised me. Second, the police sequester away the accused and deny her the right to see her lawyer even though she has said she wants her lawyer present, until Perry Mason forces himself into the room. That seems to be pretty standard in these Perry Mason books, and to my modern mind it seems wrong. I loved the ending of this one! I think this story had a better development then the rest and a few random parts which I felt the author just added in to add volume. The ending was really good and it showed me how Perry Mason could argue over something he could not prove. Then again, there were so many guesses in this entire story.

Mason was representing two clients, he made the jury think in the first case that his other client had committed the murder, while giving his second client an iron-clad alibi Jan 26, Katie rated it liked it. As far as Perry Mason goes, this story got a little out of legal bounds. Perry slightly disappointed me with his wily ways in this one. Also my copy is from and has a pretty cool retro cover. It made me look 'interesting' on the plane. Jun 18, John Yelverton rated it really liked it. It's a pretty fascinating case as Perry Mason must defend a client who laid down so many red herrings to protect her loved ones that she ended up being charged for murder, and he must unwind this ball of confusion in order to get at the truth and save her from the death penalty. Apr 08, NebulousGloom FK rated it really liked it. Good mystery, although all the switcheroo with the guns was confusing. Gardner must have been very pleased with the faithful rendering of his books. He began writing the Mason detective stories in The CBS show first went on the air in Yet his writing, his characters, everything always feels timeless to me. Nothing seems outdated okay, perhaps some of the language wouldn't be quite PC enough for us in these touchy times and the cases always seems relevant, with Perry and his faithful staff and colleagues putting it all on the line for their clients. Because I watched the TV series as a child and had never read the books, now as I read them, I always visualize the office exactly as it appeared in through We don't have Hamilton Burger and Lt. Tragg at least at this point in the series , but we have a similarly belligerent D. Sampson, and a very cranky Sergeant Holcomb to battle Perry and Paul whenever they encounter each other at a murder scene. I'm so grateful that Gardner was such a prolific author, and that the American Bar Association publishing house Ankerwycke reissued all of the books at the beginning of this century. It would be a shame not to be able to read these entertaining and incredibly complicated stories as Perry finds ways to save his clients even when everything seems to be against them. This is slightly different from most Perry Mason stories. I think that was done on purpose as both do some ethically shady things. Rather he concentrates only on creating reasonable doubt. Which is all he can do as his client claims amnesia over the events and really is not helping This is slightly different from most Perry Mason stories. Which is all he can do as his client claims amnesia over the events and really is not helping him in solving he case. I did not care for the author changing the point of view to that of the DA for the beginning of the trial portion of the book. That being said I must congratulate the publisher on creating a very nice reprint. It's thinker than original prints of Perry Mason but it's done on superior paper and the print is slightly larger for easier reading. Feb 12, William rated it really liked it Shelves: private-eye. I'm reading this series in order and this is easily the best so far. The writing is a lot better, to begin with. And finally the women are not all beautiful. Aunt Sarah Breel is a new kind of Gardner character, calm and gracious, and a very likable one. Her niece, Virginia Trent, is neurotic, brittle and tedious. The amorous overtones between Perry Mason and are diminished and almost absent, again, finally. Perry is finally less of a contentious and overbearing jerk outside the I'm reading this series in order and this is easily the best so far. Perry is finally less of a contentious and overbearing jerk outside the courtroom. The plot is complex but it is not only possible to follow it, but even to guess at least some parts of how everything happened. It's fun to try to sort it all out. This is an enjoyable book to spend a day or two with. Sep 10, Arathi Unni rated it really liked it. Perry Mason is a character that Ive heard my parents speak about; it is only now that Ive managed to read my first from the Mason series. The lawyer, Mason, stops at a store food joint with his secretary to escape the rains and witnesses an old lady accused of shoplifting from the store. What follows is a riveting story about diamond theft, murders and a defendant who has no memory. This is not a typical whodunnit, but it takes an interesting course nonetheless. He just fleetingly dips into all his characters through the book, allowing the readers to interpret more basis the story and the course of events. Sergeant Holcomb demanded belligerently. Feb 10, Historygirl rated it really liked it Shelves: mystery. Gardner transports the reader back to s and s . This title is above average. It features a strong middle-aged woman who handles things her way in spite of Perry. Plenty of action and good clues. I read and reread them all, especially on free Kindle Unlimited, but this would be a good choice to read first if you are new to Gardeners work. Nov 29, Boremomsn. This one will keep you guessing as to who the bad guy is, and when you find out, it is over-played. It is possible the author wanted to show the humane and caring side of Perry Mason, if so, he failed. Instead, Mason comes across as disingenuous as Sergeant Holcomb. Except for the ending, the book was great, and despite the ending, I'd recommend giving it a read if you enjoy Perry Mason books. Jan 20, Lynn Demsky rated it it was amazing Shelves: mystery , action , detective , legal , court-room-drama. I have thoroughly enjoyed Perry Masons television shows enough that I started looking up and reading the books and this was just a pure delight to read and better in so much as the book just gives details that t. An entertaining, interesting mystery to read! Aug 04, George Eraclides rated it really liked it Shelves: fiction. Perry is on the case with Della and Paul Drake at his usual beck and call. A complex plot is unravelled in the trial, but of course. This is one of the better ones and a lot of fun. "Perry Mason" The Case of the Shoplifter's Shoe (TV Episode ) - Full Cast & Crew - IMDb
