Murder, She Wrote: Martinis & Mayhem
Donald Bain, Jessica Fletcher
Murder By the Bay Cabot Cove, Maine’s most famous mystery author, Jessica
Fletcher, is excited about promoting her new book in
glamorous San Francisco. She can’t wait for drinks and
dinner on Fisherman’s Wharf, a ride on the cable cars, and
a romantic rendezvous with Scottish policeman George
Sutherland. She doesn’t know that solving a murder may be
penciled into her agenda. Actually, a visit to a woman’s prison is already on
Jessica’s schedule, and afterwards she finds a mysterious
diary slipped into her bag. Its poignant contents make her
suspect a beautiful inmate has been unjustly convicted of
killing her husband. Soon Jessica, always ready to right a
wrong even if she attracts dangerous attention, is
questioning witnesses throughout the Bay Area, from a
restaurateur in a Sausalito mall to a female impersonator
in the Castro district. But death is waiting on the Golden
Gate Bridge – and Jessica may find out how risky love can
be.
