Product Details

Product Description

From AudioFile

Here, under the charming fiction that Jessica Fletcher co-wrote the book with Donald Bain, another episode of "Murder, She Wrote" comes to the headphones. Jessica thrusts her overbearing nosiness into a murder trial in Boston, giving the writer(s) a chance to feature various items of local scenery. Naturally Jessica solves the whole thing while everyone else is groping in the dark. Beth Porter was obviously chosen because she sounds like Angela Lansbury. Porter's rendition, however, lacks the undercurrent of kindly good humor that Lansbury projects. She handles the other characters decently, always within the Lansbury framework.

3.0 out of 5 stars Where was the editor????, Mar 22 2004
By A Customer
The plot of this book is fairly typical of the Murder She Wrote book series, and contains many of the familiar characters and characteristics expected by fans. Unfortunately, this particular book reads more like an early draft than a finished manuscript. It is plagued by countless typos, spelling errors and inconsistencies (spelling a character's name differently on successive pages), and even self-contradictions in the plot. These flaws distract from the story to the extent that I started counting errors rather than suspects. If you are looking for a pleasant reading experience, choose another from the series. This one is certain to disappoint.

4.0 out of 5 stars A court trial in historical Boston, Nov 6 2003
By Karina A. Suarez (Walt Disney World, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Even though I thought the fifth installment in the "Murder, she wrote" mystery series by Donald Bain would be a tiresome one, I enjoyed myself thoroughly. In this novel, Jessica is off to historical Boston, Maine, to work as a Jury Consultant in a famous murder trial, under the invitation of her famous lawyer friend Malcolm McCloon. The book has been written during the O.J. Simpson trial and therefore, transmits all the notoriety of a high profile case: the defendant is the younger of two brothers of a nation-wide company called "Brannigan's Baked Beans" (I don't know why I kept thinking of "Bush's Baked Beans") The case gets really complicated when the defendant's girlfriend - and his only alibi - gets killed, stabbed through the heart.

Jessica is not too eager at taking the job at first, but it's almost too good an offer to decline after her publisher asks her to base her next novel on a court trial "to increase sales" (is Jessica Fletcher also suffering the backlash of the bad economy?). Faster than you can say "murder', Jessica is off for a prolonged, indulging stay at the famous Ritz-Carlton, taking walks through Copley Place and eating gourmet dinners at the most famous restaurants and bars the city has to offer, all compliments of a high paying client.

The killer, however, is very close to Jessica's toes and her life is in danger when she starts digging deeper after the subsequent deaths of two jurors who were, apparently, favoring the defense team she is working for. Undeterred, she keeps going until, finally - and using terminology worthy of Johnnie Cochran and Marsha Clark - she solves the murder(s) during a hearing.

The book finishes rather abruptly, but I did like the way the author presented a court trial novel without loosing that "cozy" touch. It reminded me of my own stay in Boston, a long time ago, when I could still afford such a life of luxury!

1.0 out of 5 stars a poorly written travesty, Feb 20 2003
By A Customer
He refers to Jessica as JD instead of JB Fletcher. This is inaccurate. The TV series CLEARLY establishes her name as Jessica Beatrice Fletcher. Where he got the D from is beyond me. The plots are thin, contrived and full of character development which departs from that which is established in the TV series. Jessica doesn't act in the books like she acted in the series. Can we say inconsistent? Bain writes as if he's never even watched the TV show. I LOVE the TV series and was so excited to see these books out but was incredibly disappointed. And the gall he must have putting Jessica Fletcher as co-author! It's truly a travesty. The truest part of the book is the word "based" on the front cover.

This time Jessica takes it to the courtroom. Once again, Jessica takes her wit and proves who did it. A must for the Murder She Wrote fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good reading - surprise twist of story at the end
Excellent! I love Murder She Wrote books and this has to be by far the best. It's especially good that the murderer was a murderer after all - though not of the same crime! Read more
