La Signora In Giallo: Assassinio Sull'isola (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
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. She has accepted an invitation from a judge who she met on a book tour. When she arrives, the island is abuzz over a trio of murders that bear an eerie resemblance to the 1888 Jack the Ripper killings. As she passes through Customs, she spots an arriving passenger who looks as if he just came out of that time period. This redheaded man keeps appearing around her until it is revealed that he is actually from Scotland Yard. Jessica is not concerned with the murders until Thomas Betterton's, the judge who inviyed her to the island, niece is found dead on the beach after a party. And when Scotland Yard Inspector George Sutherland arrives to investigate, Jessica can't help but get involved. In the end Jessica and George solve both cases. A good read, if you like cozies based on a TV series. The 37th entry in the Murder She Wrote series "Trouble at High Tide" takes us back to Bermuda where Jessica Fletcher is on vacation. Upon arrival, everyone is a bit concerned over murders resembling Jack the Ripper. When she stumbled onto a body at the party of her friend Judge Betterton, a mystery ensues to see if it's tied into the recent killings or something separate. With the help of the local authorities & her Scotland Yard friend, George Sutherland, a mystery ensues that is pretty much par for the course for books in this series set away from Cabot Cove which involve her getting told to butt out & the celebrity status that ensues. The solution to the mystery is as usual not as obvious as it seems, but this book remains right on about even par with the majority of the books in this series with nothing really to delineate it from most of them.

Once again Jessica uses deductive reasoning to weed out the truth from the stories...
