"This series is literary comfort food for me. They tend to follow a pretty standard formula, which is fine because it is one that I love. However it is nice when they occasionly go down a different path, like this one did. It was very enjoyable."

" Excellent read, lived up to the awesome "Murder, She Wrote" television series. I learned alot about Savannah from this book and truly enjoyed the characters, as well as the overall pace of this book. "
— Natalia, 1/19/2014 -
" the story line of this book was a little far fetched; Jessica is asked to Savannah to solve a forty year old murder. That said, it was an interesting story and I always love Jessica's novels! "
— Andrea, 1/13/2014 -

— Karin, 1/4/2014 -
" Always an easy fun read. Bought in Savannah at "The Book" bookstore while on vacation. The gal working there told me about her ghost encounter (that was mentioned in this book). She was thanked in the preface, so how could I not buy it and have her sign it?? :) "

" I always enjoy the Murder She Wrote series.. as I loved the show as a kid.. this is not at the top of my list of favorites in this series ..it moved a little slow at times and some things for me were a tad far fetched..but still a good lazy afternoon read "
— Rebecca, 12/13/2013 -
" It was, as my two star rating indicates, "okay." That having been said, it's one of the better books in this particular series. If you go in without high expectations, you'll find it to be a decent fun read. "
— Gina, 12/6/2013 -
" I always enjoy this series. I don't always figure out who did it before it ends, but even when I do, the writing is always well done. And since I love the TV series, I can always picture and hear Angela Landsberry when I read the books. "
— Beverly, 11/28/2013 -
" Quick read. Can't help but imagine Angela Lansbury's voice throughout the story. "
— Mary, 8/27/2013 -
" The third of the three MSW books I'd splurged on in the hopes of finding a new series to attach myself to. I'd managed to slog through the first two. Upon reading the first half chapter I realized I had better things to do than muck trough a third. "
— Jamie4, 5/26/2013 -
" I really enjoyed this book! This is the first Jessica Fletcher book I have read, but I remember watching the TV show when I was little. It was fast, light, and delightful! "
— Danielle, 4/13/2013 -

" Jessica Fletcher inherits a million dollars, but only if she donates it to a literary charity and solves the crime with a delightful twist. She learns much about Savannah's St. Patrick's Day celebration that is second only to New York's. "
— Laurel, 1/13/2012 -
" I always liked these stories. However, this one was not my favorite b/c I figured out who did it a little too soon into the book. Although I loved the reasons/story behind the murder. Can't wait for the next one to test my detective skills. "
— Sara, 4/8/2011 -
" Good book, same formula as the rest, but still an enjoyable read. "
— Sketchycat8, 2/15/2011 -
" A pleasant way to spend a wintry afternoon: catching up with old friends in Cabot Cove! All the regular townsfolk are on hand as Jessica Fletcher celebrates Thanksgiving and solves a murder. An enjoyable cozy mystery, especially for fans of the show. "

" This book was what I expected from the TV series. It held my attendention as it was well written, but very predictable. <br/> "
— Ruth, 1/12/2010 -
" I always loved the Murder, She Wrote tv show--and this book is a perfect book when you just want to relax and enter Jessica Fletcher's life. Definitely useful twaddle... "
