Jessica Fletcher

It''s leaf-peeping season in Cabot Cove, but for someone, it''s killing season! A quartet of friends from Florida have come to Maine to experience a New England autumn, complete with hiking in the woods and fishing. When one of them goes missing, the town rallies to find the presumably lost but otherwise safe tourist. But when newspaper editor Dan Andrews is biking on the trail along a ridge, he looks down and sees a leg caught in the branches of a tree. Count on Jessica Fletcher to uncover the secret reason the victim came to town... and how it led to her murder.

Invited to deliver a lecture at the Boston Public Library, Jessica Fletcher excitedly makes plans to see local friends. Naturally that includes dinner at Gilhooley''s with PI Harry McGraw. Harry excitedly talks about his latest client, the CEO of Cure All Pharmaceuticals, who''s received anonymous blackmail demands and wants Harry to identify the culprit. Cookie, Gilhooley''s longtime bartender, also has something he wants to tell Jessica: Hae asked Harry to investigate his daughter Aileen''s boyfriend, whom Cookie thinks is too slick by half, but now Harry is too wrapped up in this new case. While Jessica wonders how best to approach Aileen, the young woman stumbles into Gilhooley''s covered in blood. She just discovered her boyfriend''s corpse - and quickly becomes the chief suspect in his murder!

Jessica Fletcher has taken a nasty spill on the ice, leaving her in a wheelchair for several weeks. She tries to work on her latest manuscript but finds herself distracted by a new neighbour moving in across the street. There''s good reason for her to be distracted, because soon after unpacking his sparse belongings, Mr. Rymer is out in the front yard, building somewhat risque (read: naked) snow sculptures. While Cabot Cove debates whether the sculptures are a protected form of art or a public display of lewdness, someone starts destroying them at night. Rymer doesn t seem upset. He just makes new ones. No need to get the police involved over a little snow, he says. Especially when there''s plenty more of it and a blizzard in the forecast. The morning after the storm, Jessica looks out the window to see a new sculpture across the street - and the body of Mr. Rymer half-buried in the snow. Can Jessica catch a cold-blooded killer from her chair by the window?

A hideg Cabot Cove-i tél elmúltával Jessica Fletcher krimiíró, akinek már készülőben van a legújabb bestsellere, St. Thomas gyönyörű szigetére utazik egy kis felüdülésért. De hiába a kék lagúnák, a fehér homokos tengerpart és a gourmet ételek, már érkezésétől fogva feszültséget érzékel a paradicsomban - majd megtalálja régi ismerősének és egyben a hotel tulajdonosának holttestét a parton. A helyi rendőrség nyomozója ragaszkodik azon feltevéséhez, hogy a heves vérmérsékletű elbocsátott egykori alkalmazott a tettes, Jessicának azonban - mivel kiderül, hogy nem egészen úgy álltak a dolgok a vendéglátó házaspár körül, ahogy ők elhitették a világgal -, mást súg a vadászösztöne, és természetesen ezúttal sem rest utánajárni az igazságnak.
