Publisher's Summary
Former editor of the Cabot Cove Gazette Evelyn Phillips is back in Cabot Cove. Evelyn tells Jessica and Seth that she got a couple of really weird notes from Bertha Mae Cormier, so she’s come back to town to check on her old friend. She demands that Jessica come with her to see Bertha Mae, who is a bit dithery, but no more so than Jessica remembers her being in recent years.
Jessica does become somewhat concerned when Bertha Mae starts to talk about her new neighbor, Martin Terranova. Quite charming and very health conscious, Terranova teaches yoga and meditation in his pool house. Maureen Metzger says that she and Bertha Mae became friends in Terranova’s class and mentions how solicitous he is to his older clients.
Jessica attends one of his classes and does notice that Terranova is flirtatious with several elderly clients, especially Bertha Mae. Evelyn becomes convinced that Bertha Mae is being mesmerized by Terranova and that he is after Bertha Mae’s money. A short while later, Martin turns up dead in his weight room. What at first blush seems to be an accident soon proves to be murder, and Jessica must put her investigative skills to the test when Evelyn becomes the prime suspect.

Love this characterisation of Jessica Fletcher
I quite like this author's take on Jessica Fletcher's character - bolder, more authoritative or gutsy in a different way. The other characters too, with Seth Haslet having a bit more depth rather than just bluster, and Sheriff Metzger a bit more realistic, rather than the hot & cold relationship he has with Jessica in other authors' characterisations. I found the details, too, perhaps more sensible, such as the time frames for things happening and the nuances of fatigue or puzzlement, and such. I found the narrator's voice worked well, however she does not make the distinction well between narration and dialogue, for instance the words spoken by a character run right into the rest of the script, like " '....well, I'm not sure what to think now' as he just sat there staring at the tabletop..." the way that would be narrated is as if it was all in dialogue. Obviously this isn't the case all the time, however it happens often enough that I found it somewhat confusing. The narrator doesn't have the finess of distinct voices for the characters either; some distinction, just not as much as other narrator's of the Murder She Wrote books. I do like this author though. I wish the narrator could just tweak her reading of the book.
