Kirjaudu LibraryThingiin nähdäksesi, pidätkö tästä kirjasta vai et. Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. Wild, independent dame + rich entitled businessman + honest loyal farmer = classic dependable Mason mystery. I could read a million of these but I'll settle for the eighty-something that Gardner wrote. I wonder if Delia ever gets some character progression. I'd love there to be a spinoff of Delia with her own law firm/detective agency. Also, what's with the weird characterisation of her in this book as someone who's bad at making analogies!? näyttää 4/4 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Seriously, the 82nd Perry Mason novel (but my first) is murder by numbers. The dialogue is uninventive, the mystery intriguing but ultimately more of an exercise than a narrative, and things plod along smoothly with the clockwork sound of an expert pulp writer. There's nothing really wrong with it, and I like that Gardner is (very lightly) self-parodic in the denouement scene, where an eccentric judge somehow convinces all parties to bypass usual trial procedure and just tell their stories to one another.
Still, I doubt I'd go back to this well very much, even if the "golden era" novels are much more clever in their execution. It just has that feel of a jobbing writer churning out another volume. There's nothing wrong with that (I'm gradually moving into that field myself) but this book fulfills its function, nothing more. ( )
