A SETUP IN SIN CITY
When her old friend Martha decided to get married in Las Vegas, Jessica Fletcher made the trip to watch her walk down the aisle. But what were the odds that she’d be back two years later—to watch Martha stand accused of her husband’s murder?
Jessica’s never been one to gamble, but she’s willing to bet that Martha isn’t guilty. Martha’s husband was a high-rolling Las Vegas local with three ex-wives and plenty of jealous acquaintances. After joining Martha’s defense team, Jessica combs through the man’s past to find the real killer. But as the media attention grows—and Jessica is interviewed by the news anchors of Court TV—the stakes are raised, and Jessica learns how to play for keeps.

Jessica goes to help a friend charged with murder,
By
This review is from: Murder, She Wrote: You Bet Your Life (Mass Market Paperback)
Sitting down to read a Murder She Wrote book is like reading a letter from a dear friend. From watching the tv shows for so many years, I feel like I know all the regular characters. I can see them in my mind.Jessica and some of her friends traveled to Las Vegas to watch their friend Martha marry Victor Kildaire two years ago. Martha had previously been widowed. Her first husband was a doctor in Cabot Cove. Dr. Seth Hazlitt isn't too fond of her new husband and the quickness of the wedding. Now Jessica is traveling alone to Las Vegas. Martha has been charged with Victor's murder. Jessica does not believe she is guilty. She starts asking questions and getting information. She joins Martha's defense team and stays at her house. This gives Jessica more access to information. She is interviewed by Court TV. Victor was a high-rolling Las Vegas local with three ex-wives and many people who were jealous of him. The suspects are almost unlimited. The three ex-wives were diverse and very suspicious. Once again Jessica is assisting a friend and getting herself in dangerous situations. I enjoyed this book. It is always fun to read a Murder She Wrote book. It is definitely a cozy. I do prefer the ones set in Cabot Cove, ME, as I know most of the people in those. But this book was well written with a good plot and interesting characters. Not having been to Las Vegas I can't say whether the setting was accurate, but it fit what I know about Las Vegas. The authors created enough suspects so that you could not easily figure out who did it. I highly recommend this book and the whole Murder She Wrote series.

By Far the Best,

This review is from: Murder, She Wrote: You Bet Your Life (Mass Market Paperback)
This is quite a step forward for this series of mysteries. The writing is better than it has been. The mystery is intriguing in that it is told with great detail with regards to the defense team's efforts to prove Jessica's friend guilty. Throughout the book, I kept thinking that perhaps she WAS guilty and that added to the pleasure of reading it. I hope the following books in this series are as well written and as intricate as this one!

This review is from: Murder, She Wrote: You Bet Your Life (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoyed this jessica fletcher mystery. It brings to life Las Vegas and the gambling world. There is also the courtroom setting and a behind-the-scenes look of being part of a defense team. In my opinion, the jessica fletcher mysteries are getting better and better. Keep up the good work.
