Synopsis

After traveling to Bethesda for a mystery writers’ conference, Jessica Fletcher decides she’s earned a vacation and takes a train to Columbia, South Carolina, to visit her old college friend Dolores, who has recently married her third husband, Willis Nickens, a wealthy and cutthroat businessman. They’ve moved into an opulent historic home with plenty of space for guests, and Jessica is ready for a week of shopping, gossiping, and relaxing at the grand estate. But the morning after she arrives, Jessica discovers Willis facedown in the koi pond, and despite what the police think, she’s sure foul play is involved. She hadn’t known Willis long, but it’s clear to her that he didn’t concern himself with making friends. The question isn’t if her friend’s husband was murdered but by whom.

Another classic JB Fletcher :) Somehow, the story was not that interesting and in all honesty, not a lot happened, no 'gather all, let's Columbo this culprit' at the end, which is a shame. Some of the characters seemed to serve no purpose. Just a 'meh' instalment for me.......more

Praise God, Jessica is back. While I harbor no ill will for Jon Land and I am sure he is perfectly competent within his genre, the past several MSW books have left me with the distinct desire to hurl myself off of those picturesque Cabot Cove cliffs. The narrative of this newest installation has rec......more
