"Fun Murder She Wrote"
Cabot Cove, Maine murder mystery writer Jessica Fletcher
agrees to accompany her friend Reggie Weems, a train
hobbyist, to the Track and Rail Club's annual meeting in
Vancouver. Members of the group are going on a three day
journey on the Whistler Northwind train run by B.C. Rails.
The chairman of the club is Alvin Blevin, a high-power
Vancouver lawyer who is very unpopular with certain members
of the group. On the first day of the train ride, Alvin goes into
convulsions and dies. Jessica is certain that he was
murdered and she doesn't hesitate to tell RCMP Detective
Christain Marshal that she believes he was the victim of
strychnine poisoning. When a toxicology report proves her
right, the detective asks Jessica to determine which
passengers had the best motive for wanting him dead. The
problem with that task is that almost everyone had a
motive, which makes ferreting out the real killer next to
impossible. Most mystery novels have more than one suspect but in
MURDER SHE WROTE: DESTINATION MURDER, the count is more
than the fingers on two hands. All the suspects have very
credible motives which is why the RCMP detective enlisted
the help of the amateur sleuth who has had a successful
track record in finding killers on previous cases. Amateur
sleuth lovers, especially series fans, will definitely
enjoy this exciting who done it. Harriet Klausner
