"The Case of the Waylaid Wolf" by Erle Stanley Gardner had Perry defending a woman who is accused of murder after she complains that her boss tried to force himself on her. Perry's courtroom skills are so good he gets the real killer to stand up out of the middle of the audience and confess.
"Wonderful Tonight" by Pattie Boyd was a pretty good autobiography. She was married to both George Harrison and Eric Clapton, and she inspired such songs as "Something", "Layla", and "Wonderful Tonight". She was very, very classy about writing this and laid blame at no one's feet and didn't drag dirt in. That being said, it was also very bare bones. When she leaves George for Eric, I wondered why. I didn't feel she explained that very well. And why she stayed with Eric, or married him, I didn't understand, either. Eric Clapton was horrible to her, not like she'd admit it, but you could understand. He may play guitar like nobody's business, but he certainly doesn't know how to treat other people, especially other people he supposedly loves.
