A Great Mystery: Murder She Wrote: Hooray for Homicide by James Anderson (1985)

The Murder She Wrote series of books (novelizations based on the hit CBS TV show from the 1980s and 1990s) that I knew and love (all 50 plus paperbacks) were written primarily by Donald Bain. I have them all. But recently I discovered another author wrote three paperbacks about the show that preceded the Donald Bain series! 

James Anderson wrote three books in the first "Murder She Wrote" series in 1985. I found one called "Hooray for Homicide." It's actually written in British English, too. It's the second book of three in that first series. This particular book had two different storylines- and two different murders. The first was resolved by the middle of the book and that's when the second storyline and second murder came in. It was an enjoyable read , and I read it in just a few days.  It turns out that this is also a rare book - and hard to find, so good luck finding a copy! 

ABOUT THE BOOK: Jessica Fletcher, a successful New England mystery writer, investigates a millionaire's disappearance at sea and the murder of a Hollywood producer who was working on one of Jessica's novels
