The Case of the Perjured Parrot by Erle Stanley Gardner
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The ‘Perjured Parrot’ is a more complex Mason tale than others I’ve read. These earlier books are better written and thought out. This book has a lot going on and kept me guessing. Though, one part, left to the very end, was very obvious to me. The parrot inclusion is a ridiculous addition and the entire book would’ve been better without it.
The dialogue is worth the reading as Gardner appears to be having a lot of fun writing it. The light touch helps move the story along.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 7 out of ten points.
