The Case of the Dubious Bridegroom

A divorce ends in murder and a lawyer “comes up with dazzling answers” to whodunit in this book from the detective series that inspired the HBO show (The New York Times).

Edward Garvin is a very successful businessman with a very unhappy ex-wife—who wants his money. So Garvin calls on lawyer Perry Mason to protect his company from her schemes, and ensure the divorce they’d gotten in Mexico is actually finalized.

But when Garvin’s former spouse is struck down by a killer, Mason’s client becomes the chief suspect, putting Mason on the trail of a killer, all the way to the “stellar ending” (Kirkus Reviews).

This whodunit is part of Edgar Award–winning author Erle Stanley Gardner’s classic, long-running Perry Mason series, which has sold three hundred million copies and serves as the inspiration for the HBO show starring Matthew Rhys and Tatiana Maslany.
