The Case Of The Horrified Heirs (1995) - Plot & Excerpts

Why I read this book: I finally finished The Mysterious Island after weeks of slogging. While I enjoyed that, I was in the mood for something much quicker.This is another enjoyable and professionally-written (some might say slick) novel by Erle Stanley Gardner. The plotting is ingenious, as always, and the characterization is minimal--but that's a good thing for this sort of story, since spending time on character would detract from the speed and puzzle aspects. It struck me that Mason is a trickster almost like coyote--he does something pretty outrageous to muddy the waters, only to find that a murder may have been committed. On page 173 of my copy he says, "Of course, if I'd known a murder had been committed and the car had been involved, then my actions would have been criminal. After all, it's a question of intent."(Finished 08:25EDT 2008-05-07.)(My copy has 197 pages.)
