This review indirectly reveals the killer.
Paul Sorvino is very much the star of this episode, and pretty much the only reason for watching. (Eric Braeden is perhaps another.) His Anthony Caruso is the opposite of the dark, often humorless Perry Mason. But like Mason, we believe he's a sharp criminal lawyer -- who just happens to be a talented chef, and a semi-talented opera singer. (Note the character's name.)
The plotting is strange for a "Perry Mason" story, in that the obvious killer (suggested early on) is, indeed, the killer. The only thing that needs explaining is the motivation.
Plot hole: How did the killer get the bloody dress and murder weapon in the trunk of the defendant's car?
Trivia: Note that the prosecuting attorney is named Markham. This appears to be a thinly veiled reference to the star of "The New Perry Mason", which bombed badly.
