## Description

GUN OVERBOARDWhen Matilda Benson solicits the help of Perry Mason, her request seems simple enough: cruise to a gambling ship moored just beyond the twelve-mile limit and buy back the IOUs signed by Miss Benson&apos;s niece. But after Mason reaches the floating casino, he discovers problems aplenty--most notably the ship&apos;s owner with a bullet hole through his head. Strangely enough, Matilda and her niece are also on board that night . . . when someone tosses a gun over the railing. Does Perry Mason&apos;s client have something to hide? With the support of his trusty secretary, Della Street, and the ever-helpful Paul Drake, Mason dives into an ocean of menace.THE ORIGINAL COURTROOM NOVELS

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you love Gardner, you have to read the Dangerous Dowager
        
*by J***R on June 22, 2016*

As usual, the books are always much more interesting and provide more suspense and questions than the TV movies.  Not that I don't love the TV series of the first few seasons.  This novel is no different.  And though this novel was the basis of one of the series shows, it is quite different with the exception of the general characters and related environment of gambling casinos.While the plot advances in a somewhat convoluted fashion, that only adds to the questions of 'who dunnit.'  One notable trait of Gardner and his books, he successfully puts the reader in the setting as an observer.  You find yourself experiencing the uncomfortable, if not miserable, night time boat trips to and from the gambling ship.I don't do book reports in my reviews.  That's why you read the book.  You find yourself in the scenes and interpret and visualize your own experience.  Why would you want to hear me tell it?While I believe that the Cool & Lam novels are by far the greatest works Erle Stanley Gardner created, I love the Perry Mason novels.  In some of the PM novels you'll note irritating contradictions, but most are great reading and all are worth reading.  The Dangerous Dowager is no exception.I've read most of Gardner's books, and probably all of those I've read, two or three times.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perry Mason series—never boring
        
*by C***M on January 3, 2019*

I enjoy all the Perry Mason books. Dangerous Dowager is no exception. Good characterization, good plot, good writing. Easy to see why Gardner sold so many Mason books.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good as usual.
        
*by M***S on November 17, 2017*

ESG usually has one main clue in a book. That clue is presented fairly to the reader, but is presented with the rush of action contained in all his books. The reader is usually so caught up in the action they overlook it. That is true with this book as well, however the confession at the end does help the case as Mason saw it, otherwise the reader would have been left with the idea of a cover up. The title character beautifully drawn.
