I Dreamed I Married Perry Mason — Susan Kandel

"Ever since I left my sorry excuse for a husband. I've made my living writing biographies of mystery writers. For the last twelve months, I've been working on Erle Stanley Gardner. Perry Mason has stolen my life."

Everybody in Los Angeles has problems. Former New Jersey beauty queen Cece Caruso has a ton. In addition to a bad case of writer's block and trying to save her daughter's marriage, she's become obsessed with Gardner's literary courtroom magician, Perry Mason And said obsession has led her to a prison inmate who once pled his case to the late great mystery writer.

Suddenly, solving a forty-year-old murder has become her primary concern--that and finding a 1970 silk chiffon Ossie Clark to add to her collection of vintage clothing. But by channeling the inner sleuth she never knew she possessed, Cece may be stirring up a killer who's no character from a dog-eared paperback, but all too real ... and coming all too close for comfort.
