Review and Giveaway - Murder, She Wrote: A Killer Christmas by Jessica Fletcher & Terrie Farley Moran


My Review
When a wealthy business tycoon wants to buy an old Cabot Cove homestead, things spiral out of control.  First one of the owners who was presumed dead shows up alive.  Then the tycoon's wife is murdered.  Jessica Fletcher steps in to solve the case.

I wanted to read Murder, She Wrote: A Killer Christmas because I love the Murder She Wrote series of cozy mysteries.  This book has the plus of having a Christmas setting!

I have read several recent Murder, She Wrote books set in different locales but the books set in Cabot Cove are always my favorites.  This series is a true comfort read for me;  I love the town, the townspeople, and, of course, Jessica Fletcher's detective skills.

This was a well written, quick paced mystery, and such an enjoyable read.  I recommend Murder, She Wrote: A Killer Christmas for other fans of cozy mysteries, Christmas mysteries, and of course for anyone who loves the Murder, She Wrote series.

Book Synopsis

It’s Christmastime in Cabot Cove, but there’s more homicide than ho-ho-ho in the newest entry in the USA Today bestselling Murder, She Wrote series.

Christmas is not an easy time to sell a house, but in Boston tycoon John Bragdon, Cabot Cove Realtor Eve Simpson has found a buyer for the old Jarvis homestead. Unfortunately, Eve gets a lump of coal in her stocking in the form of Kenny Jarvis, who has been missing for years and presumed dead but has now come back to stop his sister from selling their childhood home.

Eve presses on, organizing a welcome dinner for Bragdon and his wife, Rose Marie, to meet the leading citizens of the town, including Jessica Fletcher. Dinner is interrupted by an uninvited guest—not Santa but Kenny, who threateningly promises Rose Marie she will never live in his house.

When Rose Marie is found dead a few days later, Kenny is the natural suspect. But Jessica isn′t so sure he′s on the naughty list . . .
