Kingpin among the mystery writers * NEW YORK TIMES *
With Perry Mason, Erle Stanley Gardner introduced to American letters the notion of the lawyer as a hero - and a detective - which were remarkable innovations. He even gave defence lawyers a good name to boot. His Mason books remain tantalising on every page and brilliant -- Scott Turow, author of Presumed Innocent and Testimony
Amazing originality * NEW YORK TIMES *
No one has ever matched Gardner for swift, sure exposition * KIRKUS *
Gardner has a way of moving the story forward that is almost a lost art: great stretches of dialogue alternate with lively chunks of exposition, and the two work together perfectly, without sacrificing momentum * BOOKLIST *
Millions of Americans never seem to tire of Gardner's thrillers * NEW YORK TIMES *
