Murder, She Wrote: a Palette for Murder

A trip to the Hamiltons turns into a mystery case when a young girl dies. A criminal ring dealing in fake paintings. Jessica Fletcher cracks the case in this edge of your seat book. Chalk another one up for Jessica Fletcher!

I thoroughly enjoyed this story and would absolutely recommend it to anyone who follows the series. There were just a couple of sticking points in my opinion though.**spoilers ahead**First, as I'd mentioned in a previous review for an earlier book in this series, I'm a bit disappointed with the trend of having multiple killers every time. It just takes a lot of the fun out of trying to guess who's guilty if you can sort of just throw a dart and hit one of the many guilty parties. I'd enjoy it more if there was a single person behind the whole thing and the other suspects were innocent red herrings. Jessica summed it up herself toward the end of the story when she mentally commented that this was a cabal and wondered who *wasn't* involved. Exactly. Pretty much everyone we might reasonably have suspected turned out to be involved.Which brings me to my second point, which is an actual sticking point in the plot IMO instead of just a creative decision I didn't happen to agree with. While wondering who *wasn't* involved Jessica speculated whether or not Chris or Wally were also part of the gang. This struck me as completely disingenuous since by this point in the narrative Jessica was already supposed to have figured out that Chris was the main actual killer and readers were just suspensefully waiting for all to be revealed. I'm all for keeping the mystery but having her wonder about something she already knows is a technical foul IMO.Anyway, I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

I totally love the MSW books but why so many typos? Any computer could point these out. Characters names misspelled, quotation marks around an entire paragraph instead of just the quote, misspelled words... I found it all very distracting. J.B.Fletcher is actually written J.D.Fletcher in many places. I saw quite a few errors in the other MSW books that I have read so far but so far this one is the worst. Not sure I want to spend the money to get any more.

This is the best book in the Murder She Wrote series I’ve read so far and I’ve read 75% of them. The plot moves along swiftly without getting side tracked on tedious descriptions of everyplace Jessica goes and every morsel of food she eats. The book reads a lot like a typical episode of the TV show.

Another great book.it started slow but I couldn't wait to find out who was the killer or killers.I was happy that she got together with the inspector again.I hope to see more of him.

She has a way of keeping you on the edge of your seat or getting you to not want to put down the book. I like the way some books has them killed in the beginning and some towards the end. Really keep you on your toes. I have them on my kindle now. Want to keep them, but don't have the room for the books.

Very happy. Arrived on time and in perfect condition. I hadn't realized I had ordered large print. But it was a pleasant surprise, it made it alot easier for me to read. Love this book.

An outstanding story from Jessica. I fully enjoyed following the clues from the very first ones to the final moment when Jessica revealed who the real killer was.
