In "The Case of the Horrified Heirs", it looks like Lauretta Trent's greedy relatives are trying to poison the old girl by slipping arsenic into the spicy Mexican food she loves so much. When that doesn't seem to work quickly enough, they stage a road accident that leaves Lauretta's car in the ocean and Virginia Baxter holding the keys to the car that ran Lauretta off the road. Perry Mason, abogado criminalista, no acepta un cliente hasta que su sexto sentido le dice que es inocente. Y no importa que el caso le ponga contra las cuerdas; conseguirá la absolución. En el último instante, su brillante exposición de los hechos sacará a la luz detalles, aparentemente sin importancia, que delatarán al verdadero culpable. En los años sesenta, el actor Raymond Burr popularizó en televisión al peculiar investigador. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Virginia Baxter is the only witness still living who can vouch for the authenticity of Lauretta Trent's will. Wealthy widow Lauretta Trent is still living, but for how long? Someone has been peppering the spicy food she loves with arsenic. Could it be the same someone who framed Virginia Baxter for drug smuggling? Lauretta Trent doesn't trust her greedy heirs. But could a scheming servant be behind a master plan to fleece her estate? But when Lauretta Trent is found murdered on the highway, all the evidence places Virginia Baxter in the driver's seat. Perry Mason will figure it all out in the end. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

They are clunky, and unrealistic, but fun none the less.
He uses a number of stock phrases over and over again.
and the legal jargon is incorrect, as if written by a non lawyer.
For example. page 49 has a description of a filing system which differentiates between:
- contracts
- agreements
- real estate transactions [ which presumably are documented by contracts or agreements!]
But does it stop me reading them? No, of course not
