Summary

While enjoying a leisurely ocean cruise in the company of secretary Della Street, Perry Mason is approached by passenger who is worried about the wellbeing of her husband. Not long afterward, her husband is seen jumping off the ship, an apparent suicide - but when the body is recovered, it turns out that he was shot. Accused of murder, the wife puts her fate in the hands of Perry, who in the course of piecing things together unearths the fact that the husband had once accepted a huge bribe while serving on a jury. The case takes many shocking twists and turns before revealing its surprising conclusion.

A lot of twists and turns

Maybe not Perry's best case but a lot of fun plot twists. It is nice to have all the clues and be able to solve the mystery as we read. The intensity in Della and Perry's relationship has been building up since the previous volume and this one picks up right where we left off.

Alexander Cendese is a skilled narrator who manages to give each character a different voice. However, he clearly hates it when characters cry or get overly emotional and it shows in his tone.
