The Case of the Foot Loose Doll by Erle Stanley Gardner
Reader Reviews A quick and entertaining read, August 1, 2003 Reviewer: Robert O. from Indianapolis, Indiana United States I'm not going to give away the plot like eveyone else does in their reviews. I'll just tell you that the way this book is plotted is awesome. Gardner's Perry Mason novels are almost entirely plot driven. This story moves fast, gets complicated without becoming sloppy, and then is resolved when Mason amazingly figures it all out. This book is better than some of the others I've read in the series because in this one you don't doubt his logic as much as in some of the others. You find yourself surprised but not in disbelief about how Mason puts it all together. In some of the other books it's simply a leap of faith to believe that he was able to solve the mystery from the information given. This one is seamlessly put together. If your looking for sex and violence, don't bother, but if your looking for a well-plotted mystery this book will not dissappoint. My only criticism is that Gardner absolutely refuses to hit pause long enough to give good descriptions of the characters and scenery.
