Murder, She Wrote: Coffee, Tea, or Murder?

This book was very interesting and held your interest till the very end. No hints of who was guilty were given. Of course there were many suspects who might have been guilty but you read on and someone else seems just as guilty. Very good book as usual by Jessica Fletcher

I,ve read all the Murder She Wrote books, and they never fail to please. Donald Bain is a genius. I was gripped from the start of this book right up to the last word. The ever jinxed Jessica and her Cabot Cove pals travel to London on Wayne Silverton's new airline. It's not long before the owner of the airline get's himself killed , and it's up to Jess and her pal George Sutherland to wrap up the case. If you love Murder She Wrote, you will love this. It's a must for any avid fan, both of MSW and Donald Bain. Happy reading. Tea anyone????

this was a really good read...about a third of the way thru i thought i knew the murderer, then alittle more intriqued accured and i changed my mine....more suspects....i just love the way these stories are laid out... especially when jessica and the inspector from scotland yard is involved. i also perfer the group from cabot cove...they are such and interesting bunch..in the long run i had figured out the murderer using jessica's clues, and it just happen to be the one who did the killing.. this book is exciting all the way through. finished is two readings..couldn't put it down.

This latest entry in the "Murder She Wrote" series takes its name from an old book about shenanigans in the airline industry called "Coffee, Tea or Me? The Uninhibited Memoirs of Two Airline Stewardesses" so as you might guess this mystery revolves around an airline. This isn't just any old airline though, it is a brand new airline founded by Cabot Cove boy made good Wayne Silverton and he invites several of his old friends from Maine to join him on the new airline's maiden flight to London. Since I much prefer the stories set in Cabot Cove I found this to be a delightful idea because even though most of the story takes place in the air or in London all of the Cabot Cove gang are right there in the middle of it. Since the book jacket gives away the fact that Wayne Silverton is the murder victim I don't feel bad about divulging this fact in my review but the real question is who did him in anyway. His wife and another relative to be revealed in the book stand to possibly gain his share of the airline and neither of these relatives were that fond of him. There are also a couple of very shady characters that are partners in the airline one of which had worked with Wayne before on projects in Las Vegas and who is rumored to be a mob figure. Then there are also a whole planeload of people who just by their mere presence have to be considered suspects. Thankfully Jessica and the rest of the Cabot Cove crew have solid alibis. Investigating the murder is Jessica's old friend Scotland Yard's own Inspector George Sutherland. I have never been a fan of the stories that include Inspector Sutherland because I guess that I think that if Jessica is going to get romantically involved with someone it ought to be Seth but despite the Inspector's presence I liked this book a great deal. The plot remains at the center of the story and the story doesn't weave too far out into some romantic left field. Quite frankly Jessica and George don't have much time for romance because the plane leaves in two days and they must work their way through a large group of suspects in a very short time. On top of that, Jessica has to spend a lot of time entertaining her Cabot Cove friends and even though she would rather be sleuthing or just holding George's hand she would never let her friends down. Occasionally in these books Jessica can be a little snippy but in this book she is the kind and generous lady that so many of us have come to love. It finally all comes down to the flight home and in a scene reminiscent of the old Sherlock Holmes movies all of the suspects are gathered together on the plane for the flight. Even in these final chapters this story takes some unexpected twists and turns and I warn you not to assume that you have it all figured out until the last page is turned. This one will keep you on your toes to the very end.
