I Dreamed I Married Perry Mason

by Susan Kandel

I Dreamed I Married Perry Mason is the debut novel in a hip, sexy, smart and, yes, cozy mystery series with a great hook. Think Sex and the City collides with Murder, She Wrote.

    While I found the first-person narative satire funny and delightful (although it lacked the chatty nature of some humorous cozies), while the plot was good (although not great), weaving a murder from the 1950s with events in the present, and while the tidbits about Perry Mason and Erle Stanley Gardner sprinkled liberally throughout the book interesting, I had a hard time relating to the main character, except that she was a mystery fan who sometimes imagined herself as her favorite characters. Other than that, she seemed a little self-centered and pretensious.

    All in all, a fast, enjoyable cozy.

    I found the writing to be pretentious at first, but I soon got over that and found the book quite entertaining.

    An intriguing read. I've always been a big Perry Mason (TV) fan, so it was interesting to learn about Earle Stanley Gardner... as well as the Ventura area of California. And the mystery itself is well-crafted, not full of plot holes and protagonists doing stupid things like some mysteries.
