The Case of the Slient Partner. This was a tightly written, twisty, high speed book. Every sentence is important to the development of the story. Don't blink or you'll miss something. Mason's client is a florist with a business problem. The client's sister develops a murder problem. Of the several candidates for villain, I thought the most interesting, and the most developed, was the business man attempting a hostile takeover of the florist's business, including the deluded notion that he could get the business, then court the florist. Clearly, the guy was wrong, but recognizable as a real human being, he reminded me of a ex. I enjoyed the book, it was a fun read.

Their was a lag in the series that made me wonder why I was reading the series. Then out of no where. The book was rebooted by the introduction of Lt. Arthur Tragg. He is the star in this story. He really puts Perry through is paces. He is a policemans, policeman. How he handles this case is- wow!!!

Note: There is a reference to The case of the Baited Hook. It is not necessary to read it before reading this title. It is just a shout out. ( )
