Cabot Cove's crime-solving novelist Jessica Fletcher goes to New York just prior to Christmas, where a sidewalk Santa leads her into another mystery, in this installment of the USA Today bestselling series.

Promoting her latest books brings bestselling mystery writer Jessica Fletcher to New York for Christmas. Her schedule includes book signings, chat-show appearances, department store shopping, and—murder. But it all begins with a sidewalk Santa staring at Jessica with fear and recognition.

Jessica Fletcher is a bestselling mystery writer who has a knack for stumbling upon real-life mysteries in her various travels.

Donald Bain is the author or ghostwriter of more than one hundred books, many of them bestsellers, across both fiction and nonfiction genres. He writes a series of original novels based on the television series Murder, She Wrote in collaboration with television’s most famous mystery writer, Jessica Fletcher, as well as books in Margaret Truman’s Capital Crimes series.

Beth Porter costarred in the hit television series Rock Follies and The Deep Concern, and she has been featured in films with Kirk Douglas, Woody Allen, and Warren Beatty. She has also appeared in The Men’s Room and Inspector Wexford and has contributed reviews to The Movie Show, Kaleidoscope, the Independent, and the Times, while her short stories and plays have been performed on Radio 4 in England.

Reviews

“Characters are interesting and well developed…While a few of Beth Porter’s New York accents are overdone, most are believable, and her Maine accents are convincing as she maintains the integrity of the characters through her presentation of their vocal personalities. There’s lots of New York atmosphere, too. A light, enjoyable mystery.”

“Maintaining the charming fiction that Jessica Fletcher is a real person, Bain offers a first-person tale set primarily in New York City…No doubt Beth Porter was selected as the reader because she can, and does, sound just like Angela Lansbury. When various walk-ons speak, she changes her accent and intonations satisfactorily for purposes of character delineation…[and] Jessica comes across in all her didactic glory.”
