The Case of the Hesitant Hostess (G K Hall Large Print Paperback Series)

Rating:
Summary: I wish I could retain Mason.
Review: This story was unusual as Perry Mason mysteries in several reasons; (1) Mason was assigned by the court as a defending lawyer for a penniless defendant, (2) the case was not a murder but a hold-up and (3) the trial was on from the beginning of the story. The situation went worse and worse to the defendant, but Mason never gave up and at last succeeded in turning the tables more dramatically than ever. The story showed Mason's sincerity as a lawyer; even if he couldn't earn no money, he did everything he could for the defendant. I wish I could retain Mason when I needed a criminal lawyer. And I liked the front cover; it was meaningful.
