Murder, She Wrote: Killing in a Koi Pond by Jessica Fletcher and Terrie Farley Moran – Blog Tour and Giveaway

Synopsis:

When a friend’s husband dies while Jessica Fletcher is in town visiting, Jessica’s vacation turns into a murder investigation in this latest entry in the long-running USA Today bestselling series.

After traveling to Bethesda for a mystery writers’ conference, Jessica Fletcher decides she’s earned a vacation and takes a train to Columbia, South Carolina, to visit her old college friend Dolores, who has recently married her third husband, Willis Nickens, a wealthy and cutthroat businessman. They’ve moved into an opulent historic home with plenty of space for guests, and Jessica is ready for a week of shopping, gossiping, and relaxing at the grand estate.

But the morning after she arrives, Jessica discovers Willis facedown in the koi pond, and despite what the police think, she’s sure foul play is involved. She hadn’t known Willis long, but it’s clear to her that he didn’t concern himself with making friends. The question isn’t if her friend’s husband was murdered but by whom.

My Thoughts

Jessica Fletcher thinks she is going to spend a few days catching up with her old college friend, Dolores. When her friend’s husband is found dead and the police decide that Dolores is the most likely suspect, vacation plans go out the window and Jessica must find some other suspects for the police to look at.

I really enjoyed this story. I had the right clue to lead me to the murderer, but didn’t connect it to the right person. It was one of those “oh!” moments when the killer was finally revealed. I love when an author can do that, especially since I had all of the information I needed to figure it out, but still didn’t see it. I also have to point out what a great job Terrie Farley Moran did in matching the original voice of the other books in this series. I love both the TV series and the books in the Murder She Wrote series, so I was looking forward to reading this one. I was not dissappointed, and I can’t wait for the next one! 🙂
