Murder, She Wrote a Time for Murder by Jessica Fletcher, Jon Land
5.0
This is exaclty what I want from a small-town cozy(?) mystery. Most of the mystery’s I read that feature a non-cop protagonist/a regular women sleuthing are kinda boring and have no stakes. But this? Awesome. The ending was pretty good too, I’m a sucker for the confrontation in the rain thing, especially ones on tall buildings where there’s more risk. And I did NOT expect for a fricking ship to crash into the lighthouse and almost kill the killer. I loved that.
The switching between the two cases was neat, I liked seeing Jessica’s first case and that tying in with the current case.
Another thing- Jess actually solving the cases was so refreshing. Like I mentioned before, I’ve read other books in this genre and the main character usually just stumbles upon the killer without actually using their brain. Jess actually figures it out and I love that. I haven’t seen much of the show but this book makes me want to watch it
