MURDER, SHE WROTE: A DATE WITH MURDER

By Jessica Fletcher, Donald Bain and Jon Land

For years, fans of “Murder, She Wrote” have been entertained by hundreds of TV episodes and dozens of books written by Donald Bain. Now, in 2018, there is a new sheriff in town! The reigns of this brilliant series have been passed to bestselling thriller author, Jon Land, with this latest installment, “A Date with Murder.”

Fans will be thrilled. After all, Jon is a very prolific writer in his own right; his bestselling Caitlin Strong thriller series is extremely popular. When Jon got the call to continue this USA Today bestselling series, I’m sure he looked at it as a brand-new challenge. This would be a writing style that is different for Jon. Given this curve ball, Jon took it and did as he always does: hit it out of the park.

“A Date with Murder” could easily be argued as being the best in the series thus far. Jon takes his thriller style and weaves it into a “whodunit,” creating a true masterpiece in the genre. Jessica Fletcher is thrust into another case when she suspects her friend Barbara “Babs” Wirth’s husband did not die from an ordinary heart attack; a theory that places her in the crosshairs of a killer.

You don’t have to wait till the last page to figure out who did it. It was Land! He expertly drove home the dagger and brought about a very clever mystery that will have readers excited to get their hands on the next Land installment.
