Murder, She Wrote: A Date with Murder

by Jessica Fletcher, Donald Bain, Jon Land Narrated by Regina Reagan

Overview

Jessica Fletcher takes up the cause of her good friend Barbara Babs Wirth after Babs's husband, Hal, suf-fers a fatal heart attack that Jessica has reason to believe was actually murder. Her suspicions are aroused by a sinister dating site Hal used while he and Babs were having marital issues- a site that might be complicit in somehow swindling him out of millions. Jessica's investigation reveals that Hal was far from the only victim, and when his former business partner is also killed, a deadly pattern emerges. Jessica teams up with a brilliant young computer hacker to follow the trail, but as she gets closer to the truth, two near misses force her to realize that she could very well be the next victim. The stakes have never been this high, as Jessica finds herself being stalked by the killer she is trying to catch. She'll need to set the perfect trap to avoid her very own date with murder.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

03/05/2018
The well-plotted 47th series entry (after 2016’s Hook, Line and Murder) shows that Land (Strong to the Bone and eight other Caitlin Strong novels) is a worthy successor to Bain (1935–2017), the author of all the previous Murder, She Wrote mysteries starring mystery writer Jessica Fletcher. When 47-year-old entrepreneur Hal Wirth dies of an apparent heart attack at his annual Labor Day party in Cabot Cove, Maine, Hal’s widow, Babs, a close friend of Jessica’s, is devastated. Babs must also cope with unexpected financial worries after Hal’s lawyer tells her that what was once a $10 million company is nearly bankrupt due to bad investments Hal made in recent months. Meanwhile, Jessica finds a note to Hal from Eugene Labine, a former business partner, threatening to sue him. The stakes rise with Labine’s subsequent shooting murder. Jessica once again turns sleuth, and eventually figures out that a ruthless killer is at work. Series fans will be pleased to find this popular franchise in Land’s able hands. (May)
