This is a PhD piece... the level of detail is really remarkable. As a long-time reader of Perry Mason (and a few more pulp fiction novels that Gardner wrote under his pseudonym AA Fair), I thought I knew much about him. Turns out I hadn't known about the plot wheel... but now I do. Thank you! 😊
I have four more pages of notes on class in the Edwardian era and murderous bot-butlers in scifi murder mysteries. Then Substack told me I'm reaching the maximum email length limit. So I shipped it. :D
Please write more about class and mysteries! Also that wheel contraction proves that automation was always used in writing, not just now with ChatGPT! 🤣

Exactly my thoughts when I came across the plot wheel! 😄 And yes, I will write about class and mysteries—it's a very interesting topic.
