Great Mystery Book: Murder She Wrote Series: Murder in Season

 During our vacation in September, I read the latest paperback in the Murder She Wrote mystery series, based on the popular television show in the 1980s and 1990s. Featuring mystery author Jessica Fletcher, this is the 50 something book in the series. This was written by Jon Land and Jessica Fletcher (always appears on the books). Jon Land is a great writer who knows the characters well and created another puzzling mystery for Jessica to solve when two skeletons and a mysterious box of documents turn up in her backyard when a septic system is being installed. The author weaves the finds with a modern-day murder, and it will keep you guessing. 5 of 5 stars!

ABOUT THE BOOK:

With work on the reconstruction of her beloved home almost complete, Jessica Fletcher is in high holiday spirits, spearheading the annual Christmas parade and preparing for her nephew Grady and his family to come to town. The only thing dampening the holiday cheer is the discovery of two sets of bones on Jessica’s property: one set ancient, the other only about a year old. It’s concluded that they were both placed there during the reconstruction, and Jessica suspects that, despite the centuries between them, the remains might be connected. 

Soon tabloid reporter Tad Hollenbeck arrives in Cabot Cove to write a story about what he calls “the murder capital of the country.” But when Tad himself is murdered, Jessica speculates that his arrival, his death, and the discovery of the bones are all somehow linked.

As Jessica digs deeper to find the connection between the bones and Tad’s murder, everything seems to come back to a mystery that has long plagued Cabot Cove. If she wants to solve the case, she’ll need to delve into her beloved town’s dark history, or else this holiday season may be her last....
