Cualquier estudiante de psicología se mostrará de acuerdo en que existe una gran disparidad entre caracteres y tipos. Los mejores detectives parecen dependientes de comercio. los mejores jugadores de garito tienen aspecto de banqueros. Y nada en el aspecto de Perry Mason indicaba que su ágil cerebro, sus métodos inconvencionales y su audaz técnica, le hacían el abogado criminalista más temido y respetado de la ciudad. A young woman comes into Mason's office carrying a canary in a cage. Rita explains that her sister, Rosalind, is in the middle of a messy divorce and she's trying to help her. Rita was at her sister's house, trimming the canary's nails, when her boyfriend Jimmy came by to see her. While they were embracing, there was a car accident out front of the house and Jimmy ran out to help. The police officers took his name and address, and now Rita is worried Rosalind's husband will try to make out like Jimmy was there to see Rosalind and not her. Then the husband, Walter, turns up dead. That's when things got *really* complicated. Perry Mason is not really interested in taking a new case - until he sees a canary that seems to have a lame foot. And just because of that he decides to get involved in yet another weird case - not even a murder this time. A car crash in front of a house seems unrelated to the people in the house - although the lady that comes with the canary, Rita Swaine, is. Her sister had married a man she does not love and the sister is worried. Of course this being a Mason novel, the bodies start dropping pretty fast and both the client and the lawyer get in trouble. You know that the problem will be solved at the end but that does not take anything from the suspense. Add to that some mislabeled luggage and a marriage proposal (Mason to Della) and the story is ready to wrap. Another nice entry in the series. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Do birds of a feather plot murder together? The extraordinary Perry Mason never handles straightforward divorce cases, but this one is an especially strange bird. Rita Swaine is dating her sister's ex-boyfriend. Her sister, Rosalind, is married to shady insurance adjuster Walter Prescott, who's got dollar signs in his eyes and ice water in his veins. When Rita's beau gallantly steps in to warn Rosalind about her heinous husband's designs, Prescott hatches a plan to prey on them all...by suing for big profit. For Mason, this case should be a lark. But when a murdered man is found in the Prescott home--and a nosy neighbor sings an incriminating song about illicit love and a hidden gun--legal eagle Mason suddenly finds himself defending a sitting duck.
