Publisher's summary

After traveling to Bethesda for a mystery writers’ conference, Jessica Fletcher decides she’s earned a vacation and takes a train to Columbia, South Carolina, to visit her old college friend Dolores, who has recently married her third husband, Willis Nickens, a wealthy and cutthroat businessman. They’ve moved into an opulent historic home with plenty of space for guests, and Jessica is ready for a week of shopping, gossiping, and relaxing at the grand estate.

But the morning after she arrives, Jessica discovers Willis facedown in the koi pond, and despite what the police think, she’s sure foul play is involved. She hadn’t known Willis long, but it’s clear to her that he didn’t concern himself with making friends. The question isn’t if her friend’s husband was murdered but by whom.

Outstanding book

Terrie Farley Moran has absolutely captured Jessica Fletcher in this the first book she has written in this well-loved series. The story is touching, cozy, and complex. I’m sure Angela Lansbury would have been proud to star in a production of this book. Well done, Terrie.

Much better than Jon Land!

So much better than Jon Land's attempts to capture Jessica Fletcher. Not quite as good as Donald Bain but much closer to hjs style. Very relieved to have Jessica Fletcher back! Recommended!

I finally solved a mystery.

MSW books and the show have a habit of going off the rails. This one I was actually able to solve it along with Jessica. I will miss Jon Land’s take but I have to say I enjoyed this book. Jessica is a bit watered down compared to the last 3 books I read in the series but it is a cozy mystery. I have already preordered the next in the series.

interesting

I enjoyed the old author of this series. The original author was the best. The second was ok. Now the Third ... well this was not as captivating . There was no Scotland Yard love interest mentioned. Some ideas were two repetitive. The constant talk and description of her jogging. idk I just want to go back to the old direction of the series and also bring ba k the old person that portrayed Jessica. I believe her name is Cynthia Darlow.
