"The Case of the Terrified Typist" by Erle Stanley Gardner

Yeah.  Definitely a new comfort-read series.

The plot of this one really kept me guessing.  It had several twists that I greatly enjoyed :-) 

Perry Mason has a lot of work to get done in a short amount of time, so he sends word to a temp agency to send an extra typist because Della Street and Gertie are unable to keep up.  A typist arrives, proves to be brilliant at her job, but disappears.  And then there are all sorts of robberies and treasure discoveries and accusations of murders, culminating in a very surprising trial.

Once again, this mystery was everything I wanted and needed when I read it, and I'm relishing having 78 more Perry Mason books to explore.

If This was a Movie, I Would Rate It: PG-10 for murder and some mild bad language.
