Many place Perry Mason alongside the famous Auguste Dupin, Sherlock Holmes, Father Brown, Hercule Poirot, Commissioner Maigret, and Nero Wolfe.
The Perry Mason novels have an amazing quality: once you’ve read one, even if it’s deep night outside, it’s hard not to start the next—because they’re addictive. And it’s not only the specific plot, not only the latest tangled story in which it’s incredibly exciting to sort things out; you want to meet again the tireless fighter for the honor and freedom of those unjustly accused—the charming attorney Perry Mason, his faithful companions Della Street and Paul Drake, and even Lieutenant Tragg, who, in his own way, is very likable, even though he often stands against the main character.
