Jessica Fletcher is the most famous fictional author in the world, not just in Cabot Cove. The mystery writer was often surprised by how many people loved her work or had read it somehow. The character's novels were mentioned throughout Murder, She Wrote's 12 seasons. They all involved murder, which Cabot Cove was too familiar with!

Fletcher's bodies of work were turned into fictional movies and plays in Cabot Cove. Here are a few!

The Umbrella Murders

Were they murdered with an umbrella? Or was the murder covered up? (since umbrellas cover you). Great wordplay by Fletcher, as always.

Murder at the Inn

Apparently, you're not even safe at an Inn during vacation!
