Jessica Fletcher has dinner with her old pal Harry McGraw and gets pulled into a puzzling murder case.
Invited to deliver a lecture at the Boston Public Library, Jessica Fletcher excitedly makes plans to see local friends. Naturally that includes dinner at Gilhooley’s with PI Harry McGraw. Harry excitedly talks about his latest client, the CEO of Cure All Pharmaceuticals, who’s received anonymous blackmail demands and wants Harry to identify the culprit. Cookie, Gilhooley’s longtime bartender, also has something he wants to tell Jessica: he asked Harry to investigate his daughter Aileen’s boyfriend, who Cookie thinks is too slick by half, but now Harry is too wrapped up in this new case. While Jessica wonders how best to approach Aileen, the young woman stumbles into Gilhooley’s covered in blood. She just discovered her boyfriend’s corpse -- and quickly becomes the chief suspect in his murder!
What I Thought:
Well this was another entertaining installment of the Murder She Wrote Mysteries. There have been so many in this series, I think this is the 61st? In this one, Jessica and Seth travel to Boston for Jessica to speak at a lecture at the Boston Public Library, When a friends daughter's boyfriend is murdered, Jessica has to investigate to try to clear the girl of the charges. As always, Jessica Fletcher is a great protagonist. She is cleaver and completely timeless. This plot was well thought out and believable. There was a couple mystery aspects in this book that ended up being connected together. While the setting was not Cabot Cove, it was still charming and Ms. Farley did a good job describing the setting. I was left guessing till the reveal of the killer, it was interesting how Ms. Fletcher figured out who the killer was. A Murder She Wrote book is always an entertaining book and this one was no exception.
I received a complimentary copy of this book.
