Jessica phones it in

Even an ocean away Jessica Fletcher still solves another murder in that murder capital of Maine, Cabot Cove. Angela Lansbury is in London but is keeping in touch with everybody which includes nephew Michael Horton and his most pregnant wife Debbie Zipp who are house sitting in Caobt Cove.

In fact the place has become a hotbed of intrigue and adventure. In a homage to the Maltese Falcon, a whole lot of stock characters from potboiler novels arrive there including a peg leg sea captain who eludes them all only to break into the Fletcher dwelling and get stabbed there for his troubles.

Anyone of this crew could have been our perpetrator over the object the captain carries which is the infamous Szechuan Dragon. The killing however turns out to be for reasons far more prosaic.

With Horton, William Windom, and Ron Masak phoning in regularly from across the sea the solution comes.
