Synopsis

Jessica Fletcher is a retired English teacher who, after being widowed in her early fifties, became a very successful mystery writer. Her late husband's nephew Grady, who was raised by the Fletcher's following the death of his parents, found one of Jessica's novels and submitted it to a publisher behind her back. Not only did the novel get published, but it became a best seller.

Soon Jessica became an international celebrity and travelled throughout the United States and the world promoting her novels. Her one eccentricity is an insatiable curiosity, especially whenever murder rears its ugly head - which it seems to wherever she goes.

She displays a knack for solving murders and becomes a well respected amateur criminologist. However, most detectives and police officers don't want her anywhere near their crime scenes, until her accurate deductions convince them to listen to her. Some are fans of her books and are glad she's involved in the investigation. With time, she makes friends in many police departments across the USA, as well as a British police officer attached to Scotland Yard.

Her expertise, quick thinking and a keen eye for detail ensures she always catches her criminal.
