Murder, She Wrote (Original): Lovers and Other Killers (Jessica Fletcher, #3)

Two invitations arrive in Cabot Cove, Maine, the same day.Jessica Fletcher finds the requests rather daunting: to lecture on crime fiction at a major university on the west coast, and to visit her cousin Abby who is working at a show jumping and fox-hunting estate in rural Kentucky. That's a lot of travel. But she says yes to both!In Seattle, when she discovers herself involved in an unpleasant murder case, she realizes that there are more frightening events than facing a critical audience of English faculty and students. By the time she solves that mystery she's ready for the promised holiday in Kentucky. Even there, she has to contend with a feuding family, doped horses, disputed wills, one or two possible murders, and a most peculiar suspect - the richest dog in America.Librarian's note #1: Lovers and Other Killers is a novelization of the 6th and 7th episodes of the first season of the hit TV series.Librarian's note #2: this is the original MSW series by James Anderson and David Deutsch.
