5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous!!, Jun 17 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Murder She Wrote Martinis And Mayhem (Mass Market Paperback)
This one is definitely a page turner!! Although it becomes fairly obvious "whodunnit", you still stay completely engrossed just to figure out how they managed to do it! Also had quite a bit of humor - Ms. Fletcher seems to be getting quite spicy as she advances in life!!! A definite must-read for any MSW fan!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow What a great read, Jan 21 2003
By "gandalf67" (BC Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Murder She Wrote Martinis And Mayhem (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved this book as it like the program keeps you guessing right until the ending and it is sometimes funny sometimes dramatic and always exciting. I intend to get them all if I can!

4.0 out of 5 stars Meanwhile, on the Other Coast ..., Aug 16 2002
By TundraVision (o/~ from the Land of Sky Blue Waters o/~) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Murder She Wrote Martinis And Mayhem (Mass Market Paperback)
This cozy continuation of Cabot Cove capers is comfortable, but climax-challenged. The "Murder, She Wrote" book series is 'based on the Universal television series" ostensibly written in the 1st person by Jessica Fletcher, with a little help from Donald Bain. It is fairly true to the long-running tv series, with variations that only the more-than-casual viewer might catch. At the book's beginning, Jessica awakens, puts on the kettle for tea, and settles into her den to watch NBC's Today Show. "Willard Scott, my favorite weatherman..." Jessica would never have been allowed to do or say that! All those Sunday nights on CBS!

This time, Jessica is off to San Francisco for a publication tour on her new murder mystery book. While addressing some inmates at a Women's prison, she is slipped a Diary of a convict in whose proclaimed innocence Jessica comes to believe. So if Kimberly didn't do it, who did? And why is someone trying to joust Jessica off the Golden Gate Bridge?

Yet there's Jessica's characteristic good humour. "I reached the San Francisco side [of the Bridge] in what might have been the fastest mile ever recorded by a female mystery writer from Maine who was on the wrong side of fifty." While addressing a high school class about mystery writing, Jessica responds to a question regarding actress selection: "Joan Fontaine, or Vivien Leigh. Of course, I'd be pleased if Angela Lansbury played me in a film version of my book." Unfortunately, the class is unfamiliar with any of these "mature" actresses.

The characterization, plot, and pace are good until the wet-fire-cracker end. No, I'm not going to tell you - or even hint! Read the book - it's a fun visit with old friends.
