Not the best mystery I have ever read, but okay. Relaxing and Predictable. Characters from Cabot Cove abound. ( )

In this addition to the Murder, She Wrote world Jessica and her friends Seth and Mort are given the opportunity to ride in a high fashioned and new airplane from a fellow citizen and owner. Jessica is excited to go to London with her friends and to maybe see potential love interest and Scotland Yard Detective, George.

The owner of the airline was murdered and of course our Jessica has decided that she is going to help her beau in solving the murder. I listened to this on audiobook and I enjoyed it. It wasn't the best of the Murder, She Wrote series I've read so far. ( )

Another fun episode in the Murder, She Wrote series. I loved that even though the setting was London, England, my favorite characters from Cabot Cove tagged along for the ride. I also enjoyed the "romance" between Jessica and George Sutherland interrupted at every possible angle. The ending on this one was a tad convoluted for me, but I enjoyed the ride enough that I didn't care one bit. ( )

Jessica and most of the Cabot Cove regulars including Sheriff Metzger and Seth are invited guests of the inaugural flight from Boston to Stanstead airport in London of Wayne Silverton's new airline which emphasizes customer service and passenger comfort. Jessica's friend Scotland Yard inspector George Sutherland meets her at the hotel. He receives a call about a body at the airport, and Jessica tags along. The corpse is Wayne Silverton who has been stabbed with a small knife with a folding blade. Angela, of course, fully involves herself in the investigation, and George supports her efforts because of her knowledge of the persons who flew aboard the plane. I listened to the audio version of this. At first I was disappointed Angela Lansbury was not the narrator, but after awhile I settled in the cadence of Cynthia Darlow's voice. (Of course, I would probably prefer for each character to be narrated by the person who starred in that role on the series.) I'm not sure about FAA rules for the crew on flights, but this crew seemed to carry a lot of weapons. I would have thought they would be subject to similar rules passengers must follow. I would expect an air marshal to carry a gun. I enjoyed the book more than my rating indicates. It's a perfect book for reading or listening while traveling. ( )

Jessica Fletcher, her friend Seth Hazlitt, Sheriff Metzger and his wife, and other Cabot Cove denizens travel from Boston to London Stansted on the inaugural flight of Cabot Cove native Wayne Silverton’s new airline. Jessica is looking forward to spending time with her friend and potential romantic interest, Scotland Yard inspector George Sutherland. She just doesn’t expect their time together to be dominated by a murder investigation after Wayne Silverton’s body is discovered in the cockpit of his plane. There is no shortage of motives for murder among the crew and passengers. As usual, Jessica gets to the bottom of things and solves the murder.

I always loved the television episodes that took Jessica to tourist destinations like London. I was disappointed that the author didn’t take full advantage of the location in this series installment. The characters spent most of their time in England in hotels and restaurants. The number of weapons – knives and guns – on the flight seemed out of place in a book written and set after 9/11. I have a pilot friend and I have the impression that the rules against weapons on flights apply to the flight crew as well as to passengers. I was a bit leery of listening to an audio version narrated by anyone not named Angela Lansbury. Reader Cynthia Darlow exceeded my expectations, and her voice wasn’t a distraction. ( )
