Imagine the astonishment of Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury) when she picks up a newspaper and reads that she has been killed in a Texas car accident! In truth, the dead woman was Marge Allen (Jane Withers), arguably the most obsessive member of the Jessica Fletcher Fan Club. While impersonating Jessica, Marge decided to investigate a scandal at a local dog-show, only to perish in the aforementioned "accident." Now that she's in the unique position of probing into her "own" murder, Jessica has time aplenty to grill the obligatory suspects, among them a kennel owner, the owner's wife, and a trigger-happy hunter.
A fun and clever episode that has Jessica impersonated by a fan - of course when the impersonator dies in an accident, Jessica smells foul play and is supported by the J. B Fletcher fan club who consists of different characters and with different yet helpful connections. There's more of an emphasis on humour here and more fun because of it.
