description: The two invitations arrived in Cabot Cove, Maine the same day.Jessica Fletcher finds the requests rather daunting: to lecture on crime fiction at a major university on the west coast, and to visit her cousin Abby and go fox-hunting in Kentucky. That's a lot of travel. But she says yes to both!In Seattle, when she discovers herself involved in an unpleasant murder case, she realizes that there are more frightening events than facing a critical audience of English faculty and students. By the time she solves that mystery she's ready for the promised holiday in Kentucky. Even there, she has to contend with a feuding family, doped horses, disputed wills, one or two possible murders, and a most peculiar suspect - the richest dog in America.Librarian's note #1: "Lovers and Other Killers" is a novelization of the 6th and 7th episodes of the first season of the hit TV series.Librarian's note #2: the original "Murder She Wrote" series by James Anderson and David Deutsch has 4 volumes: #1, The Murder of Sherlock Holmes (1985); #2, Hooray for Homicide (1985); #3, Lovers and Other Killers (1986); and #4, Murder in Two Acts (1986).
