    As the Cabot Cove sheriff prepares to hand over his badge to his successor, the town is plagued by poison pen letters and mysterious deaths. “Angela Lansbury is terrific and particularly sells the emotion in the dénouement,” an IMDb user raves. “The shock and sadness Jessica is feeling in this scene is incredibly moving and comes through vividly in...

    A thinly-veiled novel set in the burg of “Castle Cove” exposes Cabot Cove’s dirty laundry, but then a local woman is murdered in a way that makes the book seem more predictive than vindictive. On IMDb, a fan calls this episode “a truly absorbing and highly atmospheric mystery” with “lovely moments of humorous levity.”

    Cabot Cove’s womanizing night deputy becomes the prime suspect in this installment after his wife is found dead. “I remember watching this as a kid and thinking how scandalous it was,” a fan writes on IMDb. “Amazing how that officer got around to every beauty parlor woman in town. Love to rewatch [the episode] even though I know the killer.”

    In an episode that served as a sequel to the 1949 film Strange Bargain— with three actors from the movie reprising their parts nearly 40 years later — a restaurant employee asks Jessica to investigate the possible framing of her parolee husband for a murder the woman says he didn’t commit. “I recommend this particular episode, not only to Angela La...

    In the first part of the Season 5 finale, rival mystery writer Eudora McVeigh — played by Jean Simmons in an Emmy-nominated guest spot — arrives in Cabot Cove to challenge Jessica’s sleuthing skills. An IMDb user calls this episode “outstanding, with an acting master class from Jean Simmons.”

    In the second part of that finale, Eudora is suspected of the murder of a private investigator, but Jessica knows better and hunts down the real killer. A fan reviewer calls this episode “a crackling series finale” with “a really slick, smart story.”

    It’s murder at 36,000 feet! Kate Mulgrewguest-stars in an episode involving the murder of a chauffeur flying with his wealthy employer’s priceless necklace. “Like a good mystery story, this script presents some neat twists and turns,” a fan review reads. “The cast is sterling, as usual. Kate Mulgrew is especially fine.”

    Luckily for us fans, the “J.B. Fletcher” offed in this episode is an impersonator, and the real Jessica heads to a small Texas town to solve the crime. “Sure, J.B. Fletcher can hold her own with congressmen, tycoons, and Manhattan publishers — but it’s precisely this type of homey atmosphere where her personality and her investigative gifts truly s...

    Jessica serves as jury foreperson in a case involving the killing of a jealous husband. Was it murder or self-defense? “Without a doubt, the unforeseen disruption to the crime, and that what we think was the crime in fact was not the actual crime, is straight out of [Agatha] Christie and therefore very well done,” one fan raves.

    Rue McClanahan and Linda Blairguest-star in an episode involving Jessica and other bus passengers taking refuge during a storm — with a murderer hiding among them. “The script is often charming and amiable, while the story is hugely compelling and suspenseful with lots of twists and an ingenious ending,” an IMDb reviewer writes.

    • It was the second stab at mystery by its creators. The creators of "Murder, She Wrote" were no strangers to the mystery genre. Richard Levinson and William Link were friends and writing partners since junior high according to The New York Times, and they were lifelong fans of mysteries.
    • It all came back to Agatha Christie. The immediate inspiration for "Murder, She Wrote" came when producer Richard Levinson happened to catch a movie on TV one night.
    • Angela Lansbury wasn't the first choice for Jessica Fletcher. The character of Jessica Fletcher was inspired by mystery author Agatha Christie (via The New York Times).
    • Angela Lansbury was a long time in coming to TV. These days, it's no strange thing to see major movie stars on television and vice versa. But in the 1980s, the big names in film were extremely reluctant to get involved with TV, let alone hour-long dramas like "Murder, She Wrote."
