5.0 out of 5 stars Pots of money — and a plethora of heirs
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2020

This 1964 mystery is impressively serpentine. The story starts out far from where it eventually goes. Virginia Baxter is arrested when her suitcase is found to be full of dope. This will not be the last of her troubles. Happily she thinks of calling Perry Mason early on.

The story moves on to Lauretta Trent, a rich old woman with a house full of parasitic relatives. Perry Mason determines that one of her many heirs wants her dead. And he has to work hard to find the connection between Lauretta’s danger and Virginia’s.

Although there’s a courtroom scene in this book, the case is solved not in court, but over dinner with Della Street (Perry’s alluring secretary) and through late night detective work. This gives The Case of the Horrified Heirs a somewhat different feeling — and I really enjoyed the twisty plot.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is another good mystery story by Erle Stanley Gardner
Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2014

This is another good mystery story by Erle Stanley Gardner. I especially like his Perry Mason series. I like to try to figure out who 'dunnit' before I get to the end of the book. I failed this time. There was one thing that Perry Mason does that was not entirely ethical, which surprised me. Alto the series was written years ago you would not realize it, except for the mention of the rotary phone and the manual typewriter! I will read it again at some later date. I liked it that well.

Gardner has stood the test of time. With a plot that keeps you guessing, and the added spectacle of the courageous Perry Mason.

As with all the Perry Mason,s books I have read and fully enjoyed. The one thing that I enjoy is that you Don,t know who did it until the end of the book you think you know and find out that you are wrong.
