"Murder, She Wrote" - Episode Guide
Season Nine - (1992-1993)
"Murder, She Wrote" aired from September, 1984 - May, 1996
Synopsis:
Former substitute English teacher and famed mystery
writer Jessica Fletcher has a gift for solving mysteries. It seems murder
follows her around, whether it be to the house of her seemingly endless number of
friends, nieces and nephews or right in her hometown of Cabot Cove, Maine. Jessica
is sometimes assisted by her friend Dr. Seth Hazlitt or the local sheriff, Amos
Tupper (later Sheriff Metzger). Sometimes, early in the series, Jessica would only narrate
the episodes, which would be a dramatization of one of her novels. In later seasons,
Jessica moved to New York City to be closer to her publisher and also closer
to crime.
