With the passing of Donald Bain, I worried there would be no more Murder She Wrote books. I am slowly making my way through the series but didn’t want them to come to an end. Well, Jessica has a new co-writer and this mystery brings us back to our beloved Cabot Cove.

My Review:

Jessica is back this time with a mystery in her own home town of Cabot Cove, Maine. John Land is Jessica Fletcher’s new co-author, and we are once again entertained with more adventures of the great crime-solving retired English teacher. This time her old friend George Sutherland shows up in Cabot Cove for a drug trial at a local private hospital. Jessica is of upset George is ill especially after the loss she suffered with her husband years ago. When her friend Mimi dies after seeking treatment to delay aging at the same private hospital, Jessica is on the case working with series regular, Mort the sheriff. I wish there had been more of one of my favorite characters, Seth Hazlitt, which meant there was a lack of Cabot Cove characters saying, “Ayah”. Murder in Red is standard JB Fletcher and a fun mystery to fill an afternoon.
