I’m dating myself here, but I watched the pilot
episode of "Murder, She Wrote" when it first aired on television. I
knew from that very moment, despite being unfamiliar with Angela Lansbury, that
I was going to love that series, and I did. It is wonderful that it continues
on in this series of books that always makes me feel as though I am sitting by
a fire, wrapped in a warm blanket, sipping a cup of cocoa or tea. I can easily
visualize the characters from those in the series, I can hear their voices, I can
smell that salty sea air. .PNG) |

The latest book in the series, like
the others, captures Jessica and Cabot Cove quite well. Not all of the books in
the series take place in Cabot Cove (How could they?), but this one does, and
those are my favorites. It also takes place around the holiday season, and that
makes it even more enjoyable in my estimation. It centers around copious
holiday preparations, where the town is competing with others across the state
in the hope of being named the most seasonal in all of Maine, an honor that
comes with a cash prize. Meanwhile, Cabot Cove realtor, Eve Simpson, is
delighting over the fact that she has finally found a buyer for an old
property, long vacated, that is going to mean a hefty commission. The mystery
is a good one, the characters are at their absolute best, (I have to admit to
loving Eve), the book is as enjoyable as expected, and I can’t wait for more.
I am so grateful to the variety of authors who have delighted us
with this series over the years. Keep them coming. This "Murder, She
Wrote" fan can never get enough.
Many thanks to
NetGalley, author Terrie Farley Moran, and Dreamscape Media for providing me
with an advanced digital copy in exchange for an honest review.
