I have a question to ask, besides Michael Horton who appeared in several Murder
She Wrote episodes just how many relatives did Jessica Fletcher have? It seems like every other episode she was helping out a niece or nephew in some
kind of problem.
In this one it's Kate McNeil whom Angela Lansbury comes to visit, but only
finds husband Dean Jones, an iconoclastic astronomer around. Later on
McNeil shows up and we do learn they've been having marital problems.
One night looking for an errant comet Jones's telescope points toward a
distant house where we find the body of an old boyfriend of McNeil's, Steven Ford. Turns out that McNeil had been staying there while separated
from Jones. Both kind of look good for this homicide to Detective George
DiCenzo.
Who is a cop with literary ambitions which Lansbury has to play into to find
out about the facts of the case.
I will say this in terms of the rest of the cast you will be glad to see that the
actual murderer is the one you're were hoping was it.
One day we'll get the Fletcher family tree sorted out.
