About this listen

Jessica Fletcher has had plenty to worry about over her storied career, both as a best-selling novelist and as a part-time sleuth. But she's never had any reason to doubt her longtime publisher and trusted friend, Lane Barfield. When mounting evidence of financial malfeasance leads to an FBI investigation of Lane, Jessica can't believe what she's reading.

So when it appears that Barfield has committed suicide, Jessica takes on the task of clearing his name. Sure enough, Jessica turns up several inconsistencies in the case against Barfield, as well as signs he might have been murdered. Jessica knows something is being covered up, but what exactly? At the heart of her investigation is a manuscript Barfield had intended to publish, after all other publishers had turned it down. The problem is the manuscript has disappeared, with all traces of its submission and very existence having been wiped off the books. Jessica's search for answers immerses her in a shadowy underworld and puts her on a dangerous path that leads all the way to the White House.

With her own life now in jeopardy, Jessica refuses to back off and sets her sights on uncovering the truth behind what lies in the pages of the mysterious manuscript, as well as the identity of the person who penned it. But will she close the book on the case before the killer can write her obituary?

True to the tv series

I enjoyed the storyline of this - particularly true to the tv show with old favourite characters such as Amis and Harry making an appearance. I really did not like the narrators interpretation of Jessica - she made her sound very old and dithery and spoke very slowly for my liking. Also, don’t know why Mort is back married to Adele and not Maureen ?! Enjoyable though.

Not the Jessica fletcher we know and love

If you are hoping for the type of gentle, clever story that Donald Bain would have written, prepare yourself for some disappointment. This is written as an absurd thriller. It will stretch your ability to suspend your disbelief to the utmost. Jessica may as well start beating up bad guys and carrying a concealed weapon. Very disappointing!
