The Case of the Long-Legged Models (Perry Mason Mysteries) by Erle Stanley Gardner
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
A fun entry of Mason and Street at work. The case is a bit convoluted as presented in book form as Gardner seems to struggle to make a shifting of an important clue the focus. The shifting makes it necessary to shift other parts of the story nd make the whole book seem more like a game for the reader than a solid plot.
The characters are well written. The scenery is fine, in that there are few locations written. Seemed to me while reading there are so few locations, this could also be put together as a theatrical production.
Nevertheless, this is all fun and it’s always great to visit the office of Perry Mason.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 5 out of 10 points.
