My Review
Jessica Fletcher travels to Edmonton, Canada with some of her Cabot Cove friends. Her lookalike cousin, Emma MacGill, has traveled from Great Britain to Edmonton to appear in a play there, and Jessica looks forward to a leisurely vacation catching up with her cousin. When they stumble upon a murder at the theater, Jessica decides to solve the mystery.
I wanted to read Murder, She Wrote: Murder Backstage because I love Murder, She Wrote (both the classic TV series and the wonderful series of mystery novels). I also was intrigued by the theater setting.
This was such a fun read! It has a lot going for it: Jessica and friends visiting a new place and exploring the history and culture of Edmonton, a theater setting, lively scenes with Jessica and her cousin Emma, and of course, an interesting mystery to solve.
The mystery aspects of this novel were well done, with events and clues popping up at a lively pace. The characters were interesting and well rounded. Jessica and her friends were like old friends - exactly as expected. The answer to this mystery surprised me, which was fun as well.
I recommend Murder, She Wrote: Murder Backstage - and this entire series - for fans of the Murder, She Wrote TV series, and for anyone who enjoys well written cozy mysteries.
