First published in 1962, this is one of the later Perry Mason novels. Mason is not as rough as he was in the very early books in the series, but still is a fighter for his clients.
In this story he meets Diane, an attractive young woman who is eating huge lunches. It happens that she has a contract that pays her to gain weight, to become a full figured model. Perry becomes suspicious of the way the contract is written, and begins his investigation. Along the way, the body of the promoter who gave the contract to Diane is discovered, murdered.
The story isn't as fast paced as I would prefer, but it is an enjoyable read. Not my favorite Perry Mason book, but not bad.
This is number 19 of 48 in my 2015 Mt. TBR reading challenge.
Bought 2014, finished March 15, 2015.
