"Slander can be an expensive indulgence"
Have always been quite fond of 'Murder She Wrote'. It is a fun and relaxing watch that makes you think as you try to unwind in the evening. If one wants more complex, twisty mysteries with lots of tension and suspense 'Murder She Wrote' may not be for you, but if you want something light-hearted and entertaining but still provide good mysteries 'Murder She Wrote' fits the bill just fine.
While not quite one of my top 5 favourites of Season 5, "The Search for Peter Kerry" is still a winner and one of the best of the season. It does wonders with a not exactly tasteful, pretty cruel come to think of it, premise and manages to make an entertaining and intelligent episode out of it, with a diverting mystery that manages to be a brain-teaser.
Angela Lansbury is terrific as always as Jessica, and William Prince, Lorna Patterson and Mason Adams all give very good supporting turns. The standouts though are a smouldering Marc Singer and Anita Morris and a sly and entertainingly inept Lane Smith.
Production values as ever are slick and stylish. The music has energy and has presence but also not making the mistake of over-scoring, while it is hard to forget or resist the theme tune.
The writing is thought-provoking, light-hearted and amiable, while the mystery as said intrigues and the solution is not hard to figure out thankfully.
All in all, a Season 5 winner. 10/10 Bethany Cox
