About the Book
Synopsis from Goodreads:
The newest delightful entry in the USA Today bestselling Murder, She Wrote series, featuring mystery novelist Jessica Fletcher.
Jessica Fletcher and friends Seth Hazlitt and Maureen and Mort Metzger team up for pub trivia and crush the competition, then are stunned to learn that the prize is a chance to appear in a five-day trivia tournament filming in LA.
No one expects life-or-death stakes! But on day one of the tournament, a crew member is murdered. Who would benefit from derailing the show? Jessica has to come up with the ultimate answer.
In a metafictional twist, the investigation takes Jessica and the gang to the filming locations of their favorite mystery shows, where they discuss how Columbo, Monk, or Jim Rockford might go about solving the case.
My Review
Jessica Fletcher and her friends participate in a local pub trivia competition. They do so well that they win a prize they weren’t expecting. They have a chance to appear in a trivia tournament in Los Angeles. Although they are nervous about it, Jessica, Seth, Maureen and Mort head to LA for the contest.
Of course they are immediately thrown into a real murder investigation. One of the crew members dies under suspicious circumstances. Jessica and her friends are thrown right into the middle of the case. It’s up to them to find a killer and make sure no one else is hurt.
This is a full-length mystery, but a quick read for me. I was surprised at the ending, and I had a hard time putting this book down. I was hooked right from the first page to the last.
I always love a good Jessica Fletcher mystery, and this is no exception. I always enjoy the rapport between Jessica and her friends. I’ve never watched an episode of the TV show and yet I can vividly picture each character as I read the book. It’s almost like visiting with old friends. Someday I will watch the show, but for now I’m enjoying catching up with this series of novels.
