Birthplace of Perry Mason

Re: I Dreamed I Married Perry Mason by Susan Kandel

I like to look at author's websites. According to Susan Kandel's site, susankandel.com, she got the idea for this book during a weekend trip to Ventura CA. She saw a plaque attached to the side of an old brick building in the historic district that read:

"Historic Point of Interest #33: Birthplace of Perry Mason".

So Ms. Kandel had the idea to create a female-sleuth who writes biographies of dead mystery writers. And in so doing, stumbles upon murder and mayhem and tries to solve them.

I think it's a pretty clever idea. I've already bought the second book in the series and I haven't finished this one yet!
