Pre television (although it was a TV drama in the Perry Mason series) it is not as Perry-detailed, and doesn't skate close to the law as some of his earlier mysteries. Set during World War II, Perry Mason solves this mystery by discovering the reason clock was buried and why the clock was 25 minutes late...or was it 35 minutes fast? Great cast of characters, it includes quite a bit of that era's unique information - Pacific War Time, why new tires were such an important clue, and wind-up clocks.

Weaker than the usual Perry Mason
By P. Webster
Perry Mason stories are amongst my favourites when it comes to light, escapist reading. I have read a lot of them and I have found that most are very good, a few are really excellent, and just a few are disappointing.
Unfortunately, I consider this book to be one of those few disappointing ones. The plot is over-elaborate and unconvincing, and there is only a little bit of the fast-paced and brilliant courtroom dialogue that is the most enjoyable feature of most of the stories.
I fear that if someone read this as their first Perry Mason, it might put them off reading others, which would be a real shame. Read Perry Mason, but perhaps not this one!

WWII is causing wide-spread bloodshed, but on the Home Front murder is a family affair
By Whistlers Mom
It's 1943 and a soldier has been sent home on leave to recuperate from his wounds. Unfortunately, things are far from peaceful in the California mountain town. There's a wealthy industrialist and his two daughters and the oldest daughter's shady husband. First, an embezzlement becomes public knowledge, then there's a body, and (nearby) a buried clock set to the wrong time. And (of course) Perry Mason and his faithful, shrewd secretary Della Street are there to sort things out.
This is a peek into American life during the war years. Daylight Savings Time (called "War Time") has been introduced to save precious fuel. Drivers are urged to curtail travel and to drive at "tire conserving speeds." (Perry never does.) There's a tire rationing board and one major clue is the fact that only one of the suspects could have qualified for a new tire. And the street lights are doused to make cities and towns less attractive targets for air raids.
Like most novels written during the war, there's some heavy-handed patriotic propaganda and Gardner puts some speeches suited to a middle-aged writer into the mouths of his young characters. It's jarring, especially since he's normally clever about keeping his characters "in character."
One thing disturbs me. The case is a complicated one, and Perry just can't seem to get a grip on it. He follows several false trails and (although he's convinced of his client's innocence) he's on the ropes when it comes to trial. The D.A.'s office is openly gloating because THIS time Perry Mason doesn't have all of the inside information and THIS time they're going to beat him. In other words, they claim that he wins cases because his detective skill puts knowledge in his hands that would normally be known only by the police and the D.A.'s office.
Isn't "full disclosure" one of the basic principles of our legal system? I believe that both sides are required to disclose all evidence that will presented in the trial. Any surprises are reason to ask for a mistrial (or acquittal.) Was this not so in the mid-1900's?
Anyway, it's a pretty good mystery and the town has as nice a collection of slightly off-beat characters as Gardner ever dreamed up. Watching Perry almost defeated by the hot-shot young Assistant D.A. and then fighting his way back is what keeps us faithful to these dated, but well-written books.

Fun and different
By Brent Butler
I've been reading the Mason mysteries in the order published, and have just gone through a few with no actual murder trial. They're just as much fun with or without a trial, but it's always fun to see Mason in the courtroom.
In "The Case of the Buried Clock" we get introduced to an assortment of appealing characters long before Perry, Della, and Paul come on the scene. In the process of introductions, we find that an embezzler has been murdered. While this isn't the most baffling of Mason mysteries, it was a lot of fun. In my mind there were really only four suspects, which I narrowed quickly down to two. I pegged the wrong one for a while, but had the real culprit in mind many pages before the "reveal".
Additionally, the courtroom sequence was very different. Perry doesn't have much to go on for a long time and has to throw up smokescreens to get anything on the ADA assigned to the case. For this mystery, Perry is up against a new ADA ... a sharp young prosecutor from "back East". The solution of the case and vindication of Mason's client is also unusual. While the TV shows were rather formula, I've found that the books themselves are anything but ... Gardner kept things mixed up from book to book so that the reader never really knows what to expect.
In "Buried Clock" Gardner reached out for a bit more in the way of flowery prose than I've been used to, with vibrant descriptions of the mountain locale and many of his newly introduced characters. The story is set in 1942, during WWII. I missed one clue because of being unfamiliar with the details of tire rationing during the period. However, Perry didn't miss it, and it isn't one that you'll feel contributed or took away from your ability to find the solution yourself.
I notice as I write this "Buried Clock" is available as a loaner to Prime members. That's a great opportunity for you to try out a really entertaining mystery!
Highly recommended.
