7/10
6 eye witnesses, deaf, dumb, and blind

This MSW story has Jessica Fletcher at a swanky resort on Lake Tahoe which is owned by Robert Loggia and where the headliner is world famous hypnotist Jose Ferrer. Ferrer brings in the business, but he's really quite the cad and has a ton of enemies. No surprise that someone would put a steak knife in his back and kill him. But Ferrer was in the middle of a demonstration for among others members of the press. In fact Angela Lansbury just misses the demonstration.

In the room were six people all under a trance that Ferrer put them in before someone stabbed him. Six witnesses who can't tell investigating detective Robert Hogan.

I'm surprised I liked this one as much as I did. The solution is rather obvious in the how just a question of who. But this is a really fine cast assembled and I'll watch anything with Jose Ferrer in it.

I think you'll agree with my assessment.
