Very enjoyable.

Someone takes a pot shot at popular newspaper columnist Loretta Lee, Jessica is on hand trying to fight for the integrity of one of their novels.

Dear Deadly is a quality episode, it's one I really enjoyed, another strong installment from this excellent penultimate run. It is very well paced, it's full of intrigue, and it's very clever.

A cracking story, with some very likeable and interesting characters, it's one of those rare occasions where you actually like the victim, and the death is pretty sad.

The mystery has a sub plot, we have to wait to learn exactly who Nell is, and what part she has to play.

It definitely benefits from the wonderful cast, two performances really stood out for me, Eileen Brennan, who was no stranger to whodunnits, and of course the wonderful Welshman, John Rhys Davies. Casey Biggs and Daphne Ashbrook were strong in support.

8/10.
