Listen, when I say these books are my go-to for comfort, I mean it. Every time I feel down or I'm in a bad mood, the Murder, She Wrote series NEVER fails to lift up my spirits and make me smile. And that's just what I did during this book - I smiled and laughed. Donald Bain is an amazing author who really captures the spirit of Jessica Fletcher and her friends. 

Jessica is my hero, fictional or not, and she will always be Angela Lansbury to me, may she rest in peace. The friendship between her and Seth is so precious, it's my second favorite friendship throughout all the media I've watched, read and listened to. Most of my laughs came from their interactions.

Sam was also an amazing character, the funniest old guy I've ever read about haha I hope I get to be like him when I'm an old timer. He was the comedy relief and I loved picturing him hunting down an assassin while driving a bright pink car and wearing a damn cowboy hat!

Aside from loving this series to death, I was excited for this one because I live in Florida. It's not too often I read fiction taking place here and, honestly, I'm not too excited to do so because I don't like Florida. I found myself nodding along or saying, "That's right!" whenever a character would talk about the weather or when Jessica would mention how hot and humid it was. And the line about how it rains a lot but only for a short period? God, that's so true it hurts.

There's nothing worse than it being 90 degrees with 80% humidity only for it to rain for literally less than 5 minutes and then end up 10x hotter than it was before. It's terrible! Despite not liking my state, I felt proud to have Jessica visit and for this book to be set there. Honestly, it'd be cool if there was a MSW book for every state and many of the most populated countries. It would certainly make those challenges easier to complete haha

This was another amazing book that I highly recommend!
