The Case of the Drowning Duck
by Erle Stanley Gardner
This 1942 Perry Mason mystery is pleasantly dated. One of the main characters is a young man who has studied chemistry and hopes to marry his sweetheart before heading off to war. He demonstrates a new chemical compound--detergent--which happens to point the finger of suspicion towards him when the inevitable murder happens. The plot is nicely convoluted and entertaining, and easily finished in an evening.
Check it out.
