Series: Murder, She Wrote
by Author Donald Bain
Murder at the Powderhorn Ranch (1999)
Another entertaining read in this series. I always enjoy tagging along on Jessica's adventures, especially since she travels extensively and engages in such diverse, interesting activities.The setting for this one--a dude ranch in Colorado owned by friends and former neighbours of hers in Cabot ...
Manhattans & Murder (1994)
[As always, this rating is relevant only to this corner of fiction: MSW "novels" and others based on TV shows. Obviously with these mass market, pop fic, "readables" I don't consider the quality of the prose or anything.]This is the second novel based on "Murder, She Wrote" and it's clear that at...
Knock'em Dead (1999)
Margaritas and Murder (2006)
I have watched about 4 1/2 seasons of the show and have enjoyed it. Not much of a mystery fan, I find myself either growing tired of some of the like, but Murder, She Wrote has always been one that I could never grow tired of. At most, I fall out of the mystery hunger. About a year and a half ag...
Trick or Treachery (2000)
2-- stelle.L’estate 2012 ho letto uno dei libri della saga della Signora in giallo; Murder, she wrote. Questa saga letteraria è stata tratta dal celebre telefilm che vede per protagonista Jessica Fletcher, interpretata da Angela Lansbury, scrittrice di romanzi gialli e perennemente intrusa in un ...

A Deadly Judgment (1996)
The Murder, She Wrote book series is based on the characters and settings of the long-running television series starring Angela Lansbury. Each book is similar to the show, in that they are all "written" by Jessica Fletcher, along with another author.In this story, Jessica is asked by a lawyer fri...
Martinis & Mayhem (1995)
Martinis & Mayhem ticked a lot of boxes for me. Firstly, I have worked in prison, so the opening chapters were obviously big draws for me. Secondly, I have always been interested in San Francisco, but never visited. This, therefore, was a thrill. And finally, the gay subplot was something very cl...
Gin & Daggers (2000)
Well it's not like it's the worst book I've ever read, or even the worst tie-in fiction I've ever read, but it's far from the best in either category. The plot itself was decent and in dialogue Bain captured Jessica, I think, but it was hard to imagine the narration portion really being Jessica's...
La signora in giallo: Assassinio sull'isola (2011)
This was my first of the Murder She Wrote series. I am a long time fan of the old TV series. The book read like the series. I can almost see Angela Lansburg as I read this book. Like many of the TV episodes, this one starts off innocently enough. Jessica Fletcher is on vacation in Bermuda. ...
