Solid tale, May 1 2009
By Julia H. "book lover" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Murder She Wrote Madison Avenue Shoot (Hardcover)
Jessica stops in NYC to visit her nephew Grady and as a favor, checks out the pitch from the Permezzo credit card people for starring in a commercial. Jessica signs on, along with a few other well-known folks and the day of shooting arrives. With Grady and his son Frank along for support, Jessica runs her part of the commercial beautifully, other are not as prepared, angering some of the bigwigs, who are worried about time and money. One of those same bigwigs is found murdered when young Frank goes missing, and it's up to Jessica to help discover the truth, when her family is put at risk. This was an engaging MSW, lately, I haven't been as impressed with them, and was beginning to think the series had run its course.

engaging tale, April 12 2009
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Murder She Wrote Madison Avenue Shoot (Hardcover)
On her way back home to Cabot Cove, Maine after a convention in Chicago, mystery writer Jessica Fletcher visits her nephew Grady, his wife Donna, and their nine year old son Frank in Manhattan. Accountant Grady asks his famous Aunt Jessica to star in a commercial touting Permezzo international credit-card company as that will gain him favor with his boss; reluctantly on the advice of her agent she agrees.At the shoot, Jessica meets the other three notables: TV cook Stella "Cookie" Bedford, industry-exposé author Anne Tripper, and new age mystic Lance Severson along with the film crew, the credit card brass, and the hanger-ons. When Frank vanishes, Grady and Jessica search for him only to find the corpse of the creative director shrewish Betsy Archibald. NYPD Detective Chesney is unimpressed with Jessica's credentials and suspects either Frank or Grady as they had a motive to kill the shrew. Jessica investigates and begins to uncover motives of other people as the victim was universally hated.
The latest Murder She Wrote whodunit is an engaging tale that fans of the series will enjoy. The first half of the novel introduces the audience to the key cast members so that the latter half of the investigation by Jessica makes more sense as motives become obvious. However that technique also delays the prime fun of following Jessica while she sleuths. Still this is a fun read as Jessica stars in a MADISON AVENUE SHOOT.

Usual Suspects, May 1 2009
By Rosa "Bookworm" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Murder She Wrote Madison Avenue Shoot (Hardcover)
This is a nice read and the plot starts at a snail's pace. But there are elements of surprise and intrigue. While this latest is not the best read it's good enough for those who are Jessica Fletcher fan's.
