Gin and Daggers by Donald Bain




Can’t get enough of “Murder, She Wrote”? In the first of the book tie-ins with the television series, Jessica Fletcher leaver Cabot Cove for England to visit Marjorie Ainsworth, the world’s queen of mystery writers. Joining Jessica at the country house are Marjorie’s sullen niece Jane, her sister and her husband, a charming but penniless Italian count, a critic, two book publishers, a theatrical producer, and a handsome young protégé of Marjorie’s. The household staff is on hand too, but when Marjorie is murdered, no one present thinks that the butler did it. It’s a classic English country house murder, and Jessica is right in the middle of it. Fans of the television series will be pleased to follow Jessica through the streets of London and meet up with all sort of characters.
