9/10
Jessica hangs around a newspaper office.

In "Dear Deadly", John Rhys-Davies plays a Ruppert Murdock-like guy who owns various media outlets. To make the character seem more like Murdock, Davies has an Aussie accent...and it sounded pretty convincing to me. Of course, Australians might think differently!

Jessica just happens to be visiting a newspaper office. A woman who is the figurehead for an advice column similar to Dear Abby or Ann Landers is murdered--bludgeoned to death why some blunt object. Why? And, who would kill this lady? As you'd expect, the person the police suspect DIDN'T do it and Jessica sets out to prove whodunnit.

The episode if very good because the motivation for killing is unusual and the story offers more surprises than you'd expect for season 11. Well written and interesting.
