The Case of the Ice Cold Hands by Erle Stanley Gardner
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This volume of the law life of Perry Mason moves as fast as most others and then slows, as usual when the story lands in the courtroom. In this story the story really slows int he courtroom as an intricate set of legal moves sets up the conclusion. A bit tough to get through and I think it all could have been written more clearly.
This Gardner story is a bit more plodding in places and repetitious. This is a later Mason book and maybe that has something to do with it.
As usual, the main characters are hardly described at all. The passing characters are well described and very consistent. The setting is also well mapped out literally.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 6 of 10.
