Rum and Razors

This was a very good book. When Jessica goes to visit her friends debt ridden inn in the Carribean, she is delighted to be there. But when her friend is found murdered{by a razor of course}, Her beautiful vacation is ruined. When she starts her own investigation, She turns up a side of the Carribean you never want to see, the dark side. That is a common trait with Jess, get snooping and find the dark side of people. But any-way, the only problem with this book is that it becomes obivous who commited the crime in the last five chapters. Even though, this still a great book.

This is the first book I read in the "Murder, She Wrote" series. Jessica Fletcher, the main character in the story is off to Lover Lagoon for a vacation. She knew the owners and were on good terms with them. It was one night when she was taking a walk at Lover Lagoon when she discovered the body of one of the owners,Walter Marschalk. She was determinded to find out the murderer. Walter's previous job was a famous travel writer and so Jessica accept the invitation of the owner of rival inn, Diamond Reef, to have dinner with a group of travel writers. She found out that Walter was not well-liked among his friends. As the story goes on, Jessica found a lot of suspects and discovered a lot of unexpected things. I find the story moveing on a bit too slow and the ending is also abrupt. But overall it is a nice book.

"Rum and Razors" is by far the best Donald Bain has written. Going away on a much-needed vacation to the Caribbean, America's favorite amateur sleuth, Jessica Fletcher, soon wishes she was back home in Cabot Cove, Maine. During a therapeutic stroll along the seashore, a body is discovered and everyone at the local inn is thoroughly investigated. I could not put this book down and neither will readers. This mystery is for all Murder, She Wrote fans.

I think this is the best Murder, She Wrote book out there and I've read just about all of them. I can't come up with any complaints regarding this book. The setting was great, the charactors, and the plot itself was outstanding. It was hard to put the book down once I started to read it. It will be difficult for Fletcher & Bain to make a better story.

In this mystery, Jessica is befounded to actually see her dear friend, Walter Marschalk, dead in St. Thomas island! While searching for answers, she meets several people (including another J. Fletcher) who all help her along the way, but every new person is a suspect in her eyes. I thought this was a best for Fletcher & Bain, compared to others.
