The Case of the Dangerous Dowager

Perry Mason Series, Book 10

De: Erle Stanley Gardner

Narrado por: Alexander Cendese

When Matilda Benson solicits the help of Perry Mason, her request seems simple enough: cruise to a gambling ship moored just beyond the twelve-mile limit and buy back the IOUs signed by Miss Benson's niece. But after Mason reaches the floating casino, he discovers problems aplenty - most notably the ship's owner with a bullet hole through his head. Strangely enough, Matilda and her niece are also on board that night...when someone tosses a gun over the railing. Does Perry Mason's client have something to hide?

Perry Unlike No Other

I don't know which Perry Mason I like more. This seems just a bit more determined than the television series one. No matter what, he gets thre job done in his own tactical way.

Definitely a fun listen

Perry Mason navigates through a lack of lies to uncover the truth to save his client. A fun listen.

So many plot twists. Perry on the run. Great Della and Paul involvement

So many plot twists. Great exposition of detective operatives that is unique in literature which has invented the idea that a detective can work alone

No court today for Mason

An unusual Gardner, as this one doesn't end in a trial. Also, it's not as convoluted as a lot of his are. Cendese is growing on me, but his female voices are still ludicrous.

old lady voice for not so old lady

the dowager was described as sexy, but her voice sounded like a man pretending to be an old lady, which it was. Very off putting.

Great story

I really enjoy the Perry Mason series. I do wish the narrator had researched the legal verbiage more so than he did because their many words and/or phrases he pronounces incorrectly and it is extremely annoying!

Awesome old lady

Well written and very well performed. Very entertaining. I really liked the old lady, she’s a hoot

Nice job of old lady voice. . Mel Brooks

I liked the story. Alexander had too many voices. Old lady is not one. As an old lady, I can let him know I don't know anyone my age that sounds like that.
