And Baby Will Fall Book

At the time of his death in 1970,Erle Stanley Gardner was the bestselling American writer of the 20th century.This was accomplished largey due to massive sales of his Perry Mason series.

Mason is a lawyer detective who achieves remarkable results by a "judicious use of legal knowledge,fast talk,bluff and double bluff."

I had read one Perry Mason mystery before,I wasn't blown away by that one.This one didn't grab my attention,either.I couldn't care much about the mystery or its solution.

As another reviewer neatly puts it,"the writing style is stiff and mechanical." I agree with that.
As for the legal arguments,those get pretty technical,dry and boring.

Perry Mason won't make it to the list of my favourite fictional detectives/characters.
