District AttorneyHamilton Burger and LieutenantArthur Tragg do not appear in this story. There is no courtroom scene in the entire novel, which is prevalent in the later books. The plot revolves around a spoiled woman, who calls herself Eva Griffin. She comes to Mason claiming that she is being blackmailed by her powerful husband. She wants to keep the news of her affairs secret from him and seeks help from Mason. Meanwhile, she is accused of murder and, in turn, she puts the blame on Mason himself. But Perry avoids being double-crossed and fights to free her from the charges.
  2. The Case of the Sulky Girl (1933) – A bratty heiress wants to keep the news of her marriage a secret from the guardian who controls her purse strings, but when the guardian is murdered, her groom is accused.

  4. The Case of the Howling Dog (1934) – When a potential client wants to see Mason about a howling dog and a will, the attorney is uninterested. He does not enjoy drafting wills, and wonders if the man should not see a veterinarian. However, the man's next question, whether a will is legal if the person who made it had been executed for murder, immediately piques Mason's interest. He finds, in addition to the will and the dog, a man who had run away with the wife of another, and a sexy housekeeper.[3]
  5. The Case of the Curious Bride (1935) – A woman claiming not to be a bride consults Mason about her 'friend' whose husband, long thought to have died in a plane crash, turns up alive.
  6. The Case of the Counterfeit Eye (1935) – Peter Brunold has a bloodshot glass eye to use the 'morning after.' It is distinctive, closely identified with him, and thus a handicap when a corpse is found clutching a bloodshot glass eye. Later, another corpse is found, with another bloodshot glass eye in hand. But Mason is in almost as much jeopardy as his client, as his fingerprints have been found on one of the alleged murder weapons.[3] This is the first novel in which DA Hamilton Burger appears.
  7. The Case of the Caretaker's Cat (1935) – After his employer dies in a fire, a caretaker hires Mason to allow him to keep his cat against the wishes of the men who inherit. When the caretaker is killed, Mason defends the woman accused of his murder.

  9.

But Mason observes that a bishop who has delivered many sermons is unlikely to stutter.
  10. The Case of the Dangerous Dowager (1937) – Mason is hired to retrieve a spoiled granddaughter's gambling IOUs by a wealthy cigar-smoking dowager. A murder aboard a gambling ship is beyond the three-mile limit.

  14. The Case of the Perjured Parrot (1939) – One of Perry Mason's trademarks is his ability, in court, to switch the physical evidence in a case.

In this case, Perry offers a coroner's inquest two parrots, one of which swore like a muleskinner and was found near the body of a millionaire hermit who had been murdered.[3]'This early Perry Mason is uncommonly full of detection, and the games played in it with parrots do not detract from plausibility.

Again, the court scene is thrilling and brilliant.'[4]

Not Perry Mason

Every Perry Mason story has a title that begins 'The Case of the..' but there are five books by Gardner with similar titles that are not Perry Mason novels:

  1. The Case of the Turning Tide (1941), first of two Gramps Wiggins novels
  2. The Case of the Smoking Chimney (1943), the second Gramps Wiggins novel
  3. The Case of the Backward Mule (1946), second of two books featuring Terry Clane
  4. The Case of the Musical Cow (1950), featuring Rob Trenton
  5. The Case of the Murderer's Bride (1969), various short stories and novelettes

Thomas Chastain novels

After Gardner's death, Thomas Chastain wrote two Perry Mason novels licensed by the author's estate, 'based on characters created by Erle Stanley Gardner'. Both follow the made-for-TV movies in the use of Paul Drake, Jr.

  1. Perry Mason in The Case of Too Many Murders (1989) – A businessman seems to have been in two places at once—once as a murderer, once as a victim.
  2. Perry Mason in The Case of the Burning Bequest (1990) – Mason's client has apparently killed his mother-in-law-to-be in the same room where his fiancée's real mother was killed by the client's father. The case is complicated further by the client's refusal to exonerate himself.
