Sinossi
Come il primo amore, anche la prima indagine non si scorda mai. Lo sa bene Jessica Fletcher, che in tutti questi anni non ha mai parlato con nessuno del suo primo caso di omicidio. A quel tempo non era ancora una scrittrice di gialli, ma solo una supplente di Letteratura inglese. Viveva ad Appleton, a mezz'ora da Cabot Cove, insieme al marito Frank e al nipote Grady, che avevano cresciuto come un figlio dopo che il padre era rimasto vittima di un incidente automobilistico. A sconvolgere la sua vita ordinaria era stata la morte, in circostanze misteriose, dell'amato preside della scuola, Walter Reavis: per la prima volta Jessica si era messa sulle tracce di un assassino al fianco di un improvvisato detective, lo sceriffo Amos Tupper, dimostrando innate doti investigative e un fiuto spiccato. Sono passati venticinque anni da allora e quando, durante un'intervista per il giornale scolastico, una giovane reporter le chiede di quella vicenda, Jessica si insospettisce. Un nuovo misterioso omicidio e l'inaspettato invito alla festa di pensionamento di una vecchia collega di Appleton la convincono che i collegamenti con la sua prima indagine sono decisamente troppi per trattarsi di una coincidenza. Con solo il suo infallibile istinto a guidarla, Jessica cercherà di scoprire cosa sia davvero successo negli ultimi venticinque anni e chi sia il responsabile di quella scia di morte. C'è un conto aperto col passato, e nel crimine - come nella vita - non si finisce mai di imparare...

Recensioni
I absolutely loved Angela Lansbury as Jessica Fletcher in Murder She Wrote. I watched the show every week when it was on television and still re-watch the series today. I love the characters, the setting and the cozy-ness of the series. No spurting blood.....no graphic sex or violence. Just an autho Leggi tutto
Wow, #50 in the Murder She Wrote series and I have enjoyed reading the books and watching the TV reruns. How about you? We are going back in time to Jessica Fletcher’s first murder investigation, her publisher. It was the inspiration for Jessica Fletcher becoming a mystery writer, but, more than that, Leggi tutto
I can't give a book zero stars. I would've done that for this book. Once again, Jon Land makes Jessica Fletcher, Seth Hazlitt and Mort Metzger rude, mean, bitter, bickering people. That is just not true to the original spirit and tone of the series. The mystery in this book is better than many of Lan Leggi tutto
When Jessica Fletcher sits down to be interviewed by a student from Cabot Cove High School, she is surprised to find the student bringing up Jessica’s first time solving a murder. No, it wasn’t at the launch party of her first book, but it was twenty-five years ago when she, her husband Frank, and t Leggi tutto
Cabot Cove - Utterly Unrecognizable I don’t know why I’m putting myself through this. After Donald Bain passed, I’d stopped reading the series for no other particular reason—and I should have kept things that way This is the worst yet in the Land takeover of a once beloved series. It is as if he wat Leggi tutto
What was a fun story was ruined for me by the constant (and I mean every time the main characters talked to each other) sarcasm. A little sass and banter between friends is fun, but this was just annoying in my opinion. Really hoping the next one is toned down! You would think none of them even like Leggi tutto
An interview with a high school journalist reminds Jessica Fletcher of her first case--before she was a famous novelist, and when her beloved husband was still alive. It's a case that came so close to home that she has never discussed it. Then she finds that the high school girl who interviewed her
Well loyal readers, the time has finally come! The 50th Jessica Fletcher Murder, She Wrote novel has arrived!! Author Jon Land, who took over the creation of this series a few years back, has slid so easily into the driver's seat and allowed fans to not miss a single Cabot Cove slice of pie at the l Leggi tutto
