A spanking-new tin can, secretly placed among the rows of Mrs. Florence Gentrie's preserves, contains not a speck of food - but it does carry one very damning clue to a murder that took place right next door. Such an unsavory discovery in such an unlikely place can't help but pique the curiosity of a dedicated mystery hunter like Perry Mason.

But the real mystery about this murder is who - and where - is the victim? Upstairs neighbor Elston A. Karr heard the telltale sounds of foul play, but his foul temperament (and his own dark secrets) make him most uncooperative. It takes a second murder to clear up the mystery of the missing body - and to make Perry Mason the next prime candidate to disappear....

If you are reading this, it is worth it. one man reads it all and does voices for all the characters. All the stories 0ut out by this company used the same narrator and he keeps all the voices consistent.

As for story itself? Well it's Perry Mason. Need I say more?

Absolutely Amazing, as always.

I enjoyed the story, the different voices makes it more real. Similar to the TV show

Alexander Cendese is great. The story will definitely keep you awake. Erle Stanley Gardner is a master at creating dramatic dialog. He is underappreciated these days as a dramatist.

Great Performance

The short version of my criticism is this: I like it when Mason takes risks, it’s essential to his work, but in this book he acts damn stupid for the first time in the series to date.

The first one I didn’t like much.

Rambling story.... Too laborious... Too far fetched... Does not tickle the grey cells (paraphrasing Mr. Hercule Poirot)

Not your normal perry mason...
