About The Case of the Sulky Girl

"Bratty heiress Frances Celane visits Perry Mason to inquire about an odd codicil in her father's will, stating she would be disinherited if she married young. Her uncle is the trustee, and stands to inherit everything if Frances marries--which she has. And when her uncle is found murdered, her groom is accused. The Case of the Sulky Girl combines hard-boiled detective work with the first trial in the novels"--Amazon.com.
