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

A Killer Christmas by Jessica Fletcher and Terrie Farley Moran is a doozy of a mystery that Jessica, Mort, and Seth need to solve.

Who had the best motive for killing Rose Marie Bragdon?

Jessica Fletcher

Jessica Fletcher is excited to have Grady, Donna, and Frank over for Christmas this year. First, though, she has to get through Thanksgiving and everything else she has signed up for the Christmas season, including writing her newest book. Jessica is still as active as ever and doing a good job of supplementing the days when she can’t exercise outside.

I love Jessica Fletcher so much. She always has a way of getting into the middle of things that some of her friends probably wish she didn’t. Seth and Mort are the first two I can think of who would agree with that statement, even if they go to her for some clarity on some things. Jessica, Mort, and Seth are the best trio to have on your side.

The Mystery

There are a lot of things going on that lead up to Rose Marie Bragdon getting killed. The major one is the fact that John Bragdon brought his wife, Rose Marie, to Cabot Cove. Rose Marie dies, and Eve Simpson worries that John won’t want to live there. Jessica tries not to get involved in solving the crime since she has too many things on her plate, but she ends up solving it. I was so far off base on who committed the crime.

Five Stars

My rating for A Killer Christmas by Jessica Fletcher and Terrie Farley Moran is five stars, and I recommend it to any cozy mystery reader. Ms. Moran does a great job of bringing the television show onto the pages of the book and crafts a fantastic mystery for Jessica to solve.
