Murder, She Wrote: Killing in a Koi Pond

By: Jessica Fletcher, Terrie Farley Moran

Narrated by: Laural Merlington

After traveling to Bethesda for a mystery writers’ conference, Jessica Fletcher decides she’s earned a vacation and takes a train to Columbia, South Carolina, to visit her old college friend Dolores, who has recently married her third husband, Willis Nickens, a wealthy and cutthroat businessman. They’ve moved into an opulent historic home with plenty of space for guests, and Jessica is ready for a week of shopping, gossiping, and relaxing at the grand estate.

But the morning after she arrives, Jessica discovers Willis facedown in the koi pond, and despite what the police think, she’s sure foul play is involved. She hadn’t known Willis long, but it’s clear to her that he didn’t concern himself with making friends. The question isn’t if her friend’s husband was murdered but by whom.

Outstanding book

Terrie Farley Moran has absolutely captured Jessica Fletcher in this the first book she has written in this well-loved series. The story is touching, cozy, and complex. I’m sure Angela Lansbury would have been proud to star in a production of this book. Well done, Terrie.

Fishy Tail.

Good story. Lots of characters could be the murderer of the weather businessmanwho was both a caring husband to his second wife,Jessica friend and hard CEO at his one man directed company. Why did Norman die in the Koi Pond? Only his family,along with his partner , several friends who need financial help were on the estate. After his wife is suspected Jessica and Harry McGraw delve into the case to prove her Innocence.

Typical J b Fletcher

Very light listening. I enjoyed it. Narrator was very good and it kept my interest.

Much better than Jon Land!

So much better than Jon Land's attempts to capture Jessica Fletcher. Not quite as good as Donald Bain but much closer to hjs style. Very relieved to have Jessica Fletcher back! Recommended!

A nice cozy mystery

A nice cozy mystery with some intriguing characters and suspense. I enjoyed the pace of the story line too.
