About this listen

Jessica Fletcher is invited to ring in the New Year with British aristocracy. Too bad someone's about to end the life of the party....

Jessica Fletcher and her friend Scotland Yard detective inspector George Sutherland are invited to attend a New Year's Eve Ball at Castorbrook Castle, thanks to her British publisher. Shortly after arriving in the idyllic English countryside, Jessica discovers the body of a lady's maid in the garden.

While their host, Lord Norrance, his snobbish third wife, other members of the household, and party guests squabble over the tragic death in tight-lipped, perfectly mannered, thoroughly British style, family relations are strained as old wounds are reopened and cutting remarks are freely handed out. And that's only during teatime!

As midnight beckons at the ball the next night, the earl offers a toast, complete with fireworks. But the merriment crashes to a halt when he falls ill and dies, apparently poisoned - and the number of suspects with a grudge against the lord of the manor sprouts like English ivy.

Now it's up to Jessica and George to find the killer - or killers - before another corpse welcomes in the New Year....

Murder, she wrote. Death of a Blueblood

I found the story fairly interesting. Some of The story I found predictable. The voices at times seemed way overdone. The banter between Jessica and George became annoying after a awhile. Not a bad read..not he best but ok.

Simple plot, narration lacking

This was one of my least liked Murder She Wrote stories. The plot was easily guessed, although Sandra Burr narrates American accents well there was no attempt at all to do the same for a British accent. What’s the point of having a Scotland Yard Chief Inspector when Jessica always solves the crimes first. And Jessica was not curious she was a downright, meddling busy body. I did not enjoy her in this story at all!
