From Publishers Weekly
Repeating his successful continuation of the work of the late Erle Stanley Gardner, MWA president Chastain invents a second mystery to challenge lawyer Perry Mason ( The Case of Too Many Murders ). John Leland is arrested for fatally stabbing Iris Jantzen, stepmother of his fiancee, Anne Kimbro, who engages Mason to save her beloved. With Della Street and Paul Drake, the attorney searches for facts to refute the mass of evidence against Leland. But information about an earlier murder in the same house where Iris was killed further incriminates the accused, who repeatedly disappears while shrewd Mason, preparing for the trial, looks elsewhere for a suspect. Will the great lawyer crush the opposition at the height of the courtroom proceedings? Of course. Chastain adheres to Gardner's successful formula in which the fun comes from guessing how--not if--Perry will win his daunting cases. Literary Guild alternate.

Very good mystery.
By K. Hill
This is the first Perry Mason mystery I've ever read. If you liked the television series, you'll find all the same characters in this book. It's a good mystery and moves swiftly. It reads a bit too much like a script, however. There's almost no attention to scenery. The reader is given almost no information of what the characters think and feel.

A Fine Reproduction of the Original Series

The Case of the Burning Bequest
Perry Mason receives a call from a young woman. Her stepmother was found stabbed to death inside her house. The police find a pair of garden shears in the step mom's back. One glove is found outside, its mate is missing. Anne Kimbro's fiancee found the body, and becomes the chief suspect. Anne's step mom objected strongly to her romance with John Leland, due to their parent's relationship. The police are looking for physical evidence, like DNA on John's shirt and handkerchief, to arrest John. We learn that John's father had killed Anne's mother decades earlier. Both families owned stock in a very successful drug company. John's father disappeared after this killing and has never been found! John received a telephone call to his realtor's office, went to this house, met Anne, and they fell in love. But nobody knows who made this call! Perry learns a fact about Iris' past that may be connected to her murder. After the missing bloodstained glove is found hidden away in that house the police arrest John Leland for the murder.
Somebody then sets Anne's house on fire and it burns to the ground, destroying any overlooked evidence. Chapter 17 of this 1991 book explains the new science of DNA testing, which can uniquely identify a person from a bloodstain. Some of the blood found on the victim's body came from John Leland. Then there is videotaped testimony of Benjamin Jantzen, too ill to personally appear in court. The preliminary hearing is interrupted by the news of what was found at the burned down house. Then Anne's stepfather is found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning in his garage by John Leland! Chapter 20 has the solution to Anne's mother's murder; it was not John's father. [I found the hints to the real killer.] In Chapter 21 Mason asks the DNA expert if the glove without bloodstains had been tested for DNA; it wasn't [no limb hair?]. Mason wins an acquittal by a hair in Chapter 22. The videotaped confession of the real killer leads to John Leland's acquittal. Mason wonders about the many spectators who congratulate John in Chapter 23. What were their personal motives?
Thomas Chastain was a past president of the Mystery Writers of America and wrote many other books. He was hired by the Erle Stanley Gardner Trust to write this book that follows the original style. There are differences. Usually the first chapter brings in some problem that is followed by a murder. Gardner often mentioned background details about Los Angeles (such as the increasing traffic). I think Chastain lives in another part of the country. There are no details about the lunch in Chapter 6. The drug company that is being sued for a problem with its product is new and good. Anne Kimbro's many romances make her sound like some Hollywood heiress. A wealthy industrialist who uses his political influence against Perry's client seems novel (more likely a newspaper owner). Legal strategy is explained in Chapter 10. Perry "had to drive around the block a couple of times" to find a parking space (Chapter 11) Would Perry drink while working? [This story echoes the "Drowning Duck".]

He does it again!
By Amazon Richard
This is Thomas Chastain's second "Perry Mason" book; I also reviewed his first book (The Case of Too Many Murders). I finished this a few days ago. Once again, and enjoyable story; mostly believable that I was reading an ESG Perry Mason.
Either Mr Chastain changed his style, or (more likely) I was used to his writing; the things that jarred me in the first book are here, too -- but knowing that they would be absent, they weren't as jarring is the first time.
One thing that hit me hard was the Paul Drake, Jr and Perry Mason dialogue. In this book, it sounded a lot like the original Paul Drake... and that was hard to swallow. Paul Drake, Sr, called Perry Mason "Perry" -- but his son shouldn't be calling Perry Mason "Perry" - it sounded very much like Paul Drake (the original) - when I reminded myself that this was Paul, Jr, the "OK, Perry" didn't ring true. Perry would probably have been a godparent to Paul, Jr, and may even have been an "Uncle Perry."
Bottom line: A good story, but not quite the same.
