July Read/3

Title: The Case of The Curious Bride
Author: Gardner, Erle Stanley
Book description from amazon.com
     Rhoda Lorton doesn’t always marry the right men. Her first husband, Greg Moxley, took off with her savings, only to have his plane crash. Lorton has gone on to marry millionaire scion Carl Montaine when Moxley turns up alive and well and demands money to stay silent about Lorton’s first, extant marriage. When Moxley is found dead, two eyewitness claim to have seen Lorton kill him, and she says she killed him, too. But did she?

My Read: In this Case, Mr. Mason was able to think ahead and beat the DA. Mr. Mason's intention was always to protect his client's interests and found means and ways to unhook his clients off of the crimes they didn't commit and, at the same time,  exercise his shrewd ability being a problem solver. I also appreciate Miss Della Street's efficiency being Mr. Mason's confidential secretary and her loyalty to her boss. Paul Drake, as usual, was also charming and capable.
