Murder, She Wrote: Death of a Blue Blood

Murder, She Wrote, Book 42

De: Jessica Fletcher, Donald Bain

Narrado por: Sandra Burr

Jessica Fletcher is invited to ring in the New Year with British aristocracy. Too bad someone's about to end the life of the party....

Jessica Fletcher and her friend Scotland Yard detective inspector George Sutherland are invited to attend a New Year's Eve Ball at Castorbrook Castle, thanks to her British publisher. Shortly after arriving in the idyllic English countryside, Jessica discovers the body of a lady's maid in the garden.

While their host, Lord Norrance, his snobbish third wife, other members of the household, and party guests squabble over the tragic death in tight-lipped, perfectly mannered, thoroughly British style, family relations are strained as old wounds are reopened and cutting remarks are freely handed out. And that's only during teatime!

As midnight beckons at the ball the next night, the earl offers a toast, complete with fireworks. But the merriment crashes to a halt when he falls ill and dies, apparently poisoned - and the number of suspects with a grudge against the lord of the manor sprouts like English ivy.

Now it's up to Jessica and George to find the killer - or killers - before another corpse welcomes in the New Year....

ALWAYS LOVED THIS SERIES!

As good as ever. Good writer and good performance. The mystery is quite intriguing and satisfying.

Great Listen

Thoroughly enjoyed this story, setting, and performance! One of the better I’ve listened to recently

A Wonderful Job

This has got to be one of my favorite Murder She Wrote mysteries so far. It held me at attention the whole time. It was suspenseful and had a wonderful plot twist. Jessica Fletcher always figures it out. And I always enjoy when Jessica and George pair up!!

WOW!!!

Each chapter was exciting, whether it was planning or talking with the inspector. Written by an incredible author, excitement through out and shocking long ago secrets! I highly recommend this title in the series. :o)

Death of a blue blood

I really enjoyed this book. When watching Murder She Wrote on tv I prefer the setting to be Cabot Cove. But when listening to it I enjoy traveling with Jessica to various parts of the world. The narrator doesn't sound like Jessica Fletcher to me but she's good at doing the other voices.

Downton Abbey meets Murder She Worte!

Won’t disappoint! Loved every moment! If you like JB, Downton Abbey and a mix of mystery you will love this one. Kept me guessing til the end!

Sure to please

Loved the story! Loved the subtle romance between Jessica and George! Superbly narrated by Sandra Burr!

how clever the story was,

I liked everything in the storyline. It couldn't have played out better. and I love the romance between Jessica and George.

Audible release earlier Murder She Wrote Books in Series by Donald Bain

Re:Audible release earlier Murder She Wrote Books in Series by Donald Bain

Please consider releasing the earlier series of Murder She Wrote books written by Donald Bain. They are so much more in Jessica Fletcher Character than the current, and sad, Jon Land versions. Who does one email to request these earlier editions ? Thank you for the Donald Bain books that have been placed on Audible.com, he is THE best author who captures and conveys the truely virtuous, intelligent and gracious Jessica Fletcher of the Murder She Wrote TV series, as portrayed by Dame Angela Lansbury

Best one I've read

I've listened to probably half of the books in this series and I think this is my favorite so far. Great story line.
