This is just the beginning of the confusing elements Perry Mason has to sort out in The Case of the Lazy Lover.Mason’s client is eventually arrested for murdering her husband. She lies To Mason and the police — but so does everyone else at or near the scene of the crime. Perry’s lead detective Paul Drake is kept too busy investigating to get any sleep, right up to the dramatic court scene.This is an intricately plotted crime legal thriller, and an engrossing read. The details that tip off Perry Mason to the truth are particularly satisfying.

The story was disappointing.

I had read the Perry Mason books when I was in my teens. I decided to read them again now many years later. I enjoyed this book very much

We love the Perry Mason books -

So far I've not found a Perry Mason book I didn't enjoy.
