What readers say
Jessica Fletcher is the fictional sleuth credited as author of the Murder, She Wrote tie-in novels, written first by Donald Bain and later continued by other writers. Readers enjoy them as nostalgic, clean cozies with familiar Cabot Cove characters, lots of suspects, travel backdrops and Christie-style reveals, and reviewers say the newer writers have kept the spirit alive. Common criticisms are stilted, dated prose, characterization that drifts from the TV version, heavy recapping, and plots with too many threads or obvious culprits.
Best for: Readers who want comfortable, TV-flavored cozy mysteries.
