Murder, She Wrote, the delightful USA Today bestselling series, continues!

Cabot Cove is perhaps the most divided it's ever been. Between the upcoming mayoral race and the arrival of Lionel Watts, a leading developer, the townsfolk are riled up. With Watts pursuing multiple landowners in order to amass a site for a luxury hotel, seemingly every conversation at Mara’s Luncheonette becomes a debate between those favoring development and more tourist dollars versus conservationists and fans of the town's old-fashioned charm. Then Watts is found dead in the woods. It looks like a heart attack, but Jessica Fletcher suspects someone has made a literal killing in real estate. . . .
Praise for the Murder, She Wrote novels

“A deftly written mystery that pulled me in and never let up. Murder, She Wrote has always been state-of-the-art fiction, but with Terrie Farley Moran on board—kapow! She really knows how to ratchet up a story. This tricky whodunit will grab you with its authenticity, quirky (but believable!) characters, and inventive plot.”—New York Times bestselling author Laura Childs

“Jessica Fletcher gets a bitter taste of Southern hospitality when her good friend’s husband is found dead in his own koi pond. Terrie Farley Moran ably aids supersleuth Jessica in the latest edition of this long-running series. Two thumbs up!”—Lorna Barrett, New York Times bestselling author of A Deadly Deletion

“Keeping with the spirit of the peerless sleuth and much-loved mystery writer Jessica Fletcher, Moran continues the series in this cleverly crafted whodunit. . . . Delightfully charming cozy fare with a vivid setting, colorful characters, and an enjoyable mystery is sure to satisfy fans.”—Abby Collette, USA Today bestselling author of A Deadly Inside Scoop

"A delightfully horrifying tale of murder done, one by one, with all the twists and turns you love, leading to a finish that even the cleverest reader won't see coming....The ultimate murder mystery to snuggle down with on a wild winter's night--or any night. A perfect read."—#1 New York Times bestselling author Douglas Preston

"A tight, twisty tale that keeps you guessing until the final page and gasping when you've finally turned it. Jessica Fletcher has never been better!"—#1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Scottoline

"Extremely satisfying...it pulled me in from the beginning."—Open Book Society

"Jessica Fletcher, mystery writer and amateur sleuth, always has me coming back for more."—A Cozy Girl Reads
