"The Case of the Buried Clock" is one of the most intriguing of the Perry Mason titles.
By this time, everyone should be aware the television show was very different from the books. Drake was a bit less sure of Mason, and was often comic relief. Della Street was young and sexy. Perry was a debonair young lawyer beginning when cars had running boards.
The Mason of the books was also extremely tricky and often ran on the law's ragged edge. And beyond it, often receiving only partially tongue-in-cheek lines from Drake about losing his license.
The BURIED CLOCK novel is a good read but as Mason's explanation about the buried clock is extremely confusing. I was gratified that in the television episode it was explained a lot more easily. Good episode with a likeable cast.
