When Jessica is out to lunch, her presence is noted by Hotel employee Georgia Wilson, who later approaches Jessica in her suite and asks for her help. Georgia explains that her husband Sam has just been released after thirty years in Prison for a crime he didn't commit. Georgia is desperate for the couple to spend their remaining time together in happiness, and only Jessica can find the truth about the shooting of Richard Jarvis. Jarvis having paid Sam $10,000 to make his suicide look like murder so his family could inherit.
Arguably the show has continued at a particularly high standard, many shows by the time they reach a third series begin to tire, recycling old ideas, but in fairness to Murder she Wrote, it just got better and better, along with episodes The Corpse Flew First Class and Crossed up, I'd place this as one of the best. Shades of the great movie Double Indemnity.
I loved the story here, Jessica finding justice for someone that has suffered for thirty years, not a passing accusation. The black and white shots could have almost been taken from a 1950's film, they look superb. I particularly liked Martha Scott (Georgia) throughout, such a classy performance.
An excellent episode, 9/10
