The Best Episodes Of Murder, She Wrote

For 12 seasons from 1984 until 1996, Angela Lansbury snooped for clues as crime novelist J.B. (Jessica Beatrice) Fletcher. The widowed English teacher turned bestselling author wrote about murder by night; by day, she used her sharp storytelling skills, acumen, and sunny disposition to solve crimes in the real world.
From her cozy harbor hometown of fictional Cabot Cove, Maine, to all across America and around the world, nothing could stop Jessica from solving a case. She was usually out promoting her latest book, on a desperately needed vacation, or visiting with a dear niece or nephew (she seemed to have a zillion of them) when someone in the vicinity got bumped off. J.B. didn t seem to mind stopping and dropping everything to break out the old magnifying glass, play armchair detective, and get her man (or woman).
