Criminal lawyer and all-time number-one mystery author Erle Stanley Gardner wrote close to 150 novels that have sold 300 million copies worldwide. His most popular books starred the incomparable attorney-sleuth Perry Mason.
In The Case of the Curious Bride, a woman claiming not to be a bride consults Mason about her "friend", whose husband, long thought to have died in a plane crash, turns up alive.

AudioBook Fan Extraordinaire
"Perry leaps into the fray"
This radio play is fun and confusing. The author introduces many characters in a short time, so for listening it gets a bit busy.
My reaction to the book was to wonder how far Perry Mason will go when he can't be that certain, is told so many lies, has so many conflicting issues to deal with. It is a wonder he didn't just sit out the rest of his law career in jail.
"Rather disappointing"
I am a real fan of Perry mason's stories by E. S. Gardner. But.. The dramatized version is not exactly what I expected.
I would like to try a BOOK rather than that sort of imitation.
Actually, this seems to be easy. Just have the book narrated by any of excellent performers like Kit Flanagan, Candy Clark, David Ackroyd, and there are plenty of others.
No.
