Murder, She Wrote: Dying to Retire
Donald Bain, Jessica Fletcher
Deadly Medicine
In Florida for the funeral of Portia Shelby, a former
neighbor from Cabot Cove, mystery sleuth Jessica Fletcher
and her old friend Dr. Seth Hazlitt discover that an
apparent death from natural causes is not always what it
seems. Potent pills were discovered among Portia’s heart
medications, a toxic combination that any physician or
pharmacist would have warned her against. But who
delivered the lethal dose? Could it be the builder whose
beachside development she opposed? The sexy neighbor with
a personal grudge? The mysterious restaurateur who may be
a mobster? Or the victim’s handsome husband?
With the help of a feisty group of young-in-spirit
retirees, Jessica tracks down the clues in the residential
community of Foreverglades—with a side trip to Key West.
Now it’s up to her to detect who prescribed the fatal
treatment.
