Peabody's Diner is proving a hit in Cabot Cove, top customer Amos Tupper takes Jessica and Seth to enjoy a mighty breakfast. As they finish the diner's start clutching their stomachs in agony. Someone from the state arrives to investigate, early thoughts are of botulism, but Jessica has other ideas.
This really is a super episode, one that relies on misdirection. I suppose you could argue that the murderer is a little telegraphed, in truth you do see it coming a mile off. However, it is brilliantly played out, really interesting, particularly well acted.
The moral bit of the story comes with the small independent diner surviving and the obviously corrupt multinational closing. It's super stylish too, the height of eighties glamour.
