A Great Mystery: "Madison Avenue Shoot" of the Murder She Wrote Series

 The Murder She Wrote series of books (there are 53 now) is my absolute favorite mystery
series. I have all of them in paperback and re-read them. This week, I re-read "Madison Avenue Shoot," by authors Jessica Fletcher and Donald Bain. (Of course Jessica Fletcher is the main character who writes mysteries herself in the stories, but they always co-credit her).  This book, like all of the others in the series does not disappoint. 

Donald Bain is such an amazing writer. His writing style makes the characters so easy to visualize, and remember. There are a lot of characters in this book, but you never forget who they are (unlike in other mysteries I've read where authors introduce a neighborhood of characters and I couldn't tell one from another). Bain may have passed away in October 2017, but his books are timeless and his writing style was the best. - I didn't know that he also co-wrote and took over "Margaret Truman's Capital Crimes series." 

In this book, you'll follow mystery writer Jessica Fletcher as she gets talked into filming a commercial with 3 other talents. The cast of characters have a wide range and all are memorable. I couldn't wait to get to the end to find out who committed the murder, and there's also a good plot twist in there about her grand-nephew. 5 of 5 stars.  

 BTW, This was published in 2010.

ABOUT THE BOOK: When Jessica Fletcher's nephew, Grady, asks her to visit him in New York City, she's happy to reunite. The production firm Grady works for is creating commercials featuring big-name celebrities, and he has proposed that Jessica star in one. She reluctantly agrees.

But when one of the most creative-and despised-bigwigs is found murdered on the set, there's a long list of suspects. And Jessica soon finds herself not just a witness in a murder case-but the only one who can uncover the killer...
