Setting – Maine

Hardcover : 304 pages
In a nod to Rear Window, this newest entry in the USA Today bestselling Murder, She Wrote series finds Jessica Fletcher coping with an injury that leaves her homebound—and a murder just outside her window!
Jessica Fletcher has taken a nasty spill on the ice, leaving her in a wheelchair for several weeks. She tries to work on her latest manuscript but finds herself distracted by a new neighbor moving in across the street. There’s good reason for her to be distracted, because soon after unpacking his sparse belongings, Mr. Rymer is out in the front yard, building somewhat risqué (read: naked) snow sculptures.
While Cabot Cove debates whether the sculptures are a protected form of art or a public display of lewdness, someone starts destroying them at night. Rymer doesn’t seem upset. He just makes new ones. No need to get the police involved over a little snow, he says. Especially when there’s plenty more of it and a blizzard in the forecast.
The morning after the storm, Jessica looks out the window to see a new sculpture across the street—and the body of Mr. Rymer half-buried in the snow. Can Jessica catch a cold-blooded killer from her chair by the window?
My review of Murder She Wrote: Snowy with a Chance of Murder
I know I’ve said this before, but I love it when Murder She Wrote books are set in Cabot Cove. Murder She Wrote: Snowy with a Chance of Murder takes place in Cabot Cove because poor Jessica slides on some ice, becomes wheelchair bound, and misses the cruise she was ready to depart for!
Dr. Hazlitt, Seth to Jessica, gives her two options from which to choose; she can either go to a rehab center or have an in-home aide. Of course, she doesn’t like either option, but when she realizes that she really can’t do things on her own, she agrees to an in-home caregiver named Alice. I really liked Alice so much. She and Jessica got along so well, and Jessica gives her some advice on writing.
Jessica’s friends and neighbors ply her with food, and of course Seth arrives at several mealtimes. He always makes these books even more fun. These things really add to the cozy feeling. Snow and being by a warm fire, drinking tea do too. I just feel so cozy when I’m reading Murder She Wrote books, especially those in Cabot Cove. The regular characters make appearances, and if you haven’t read any of the books, you’ll be able to get to know them quickly. The addition of new characters makes the murders possible. We can’t have all of the regulars dying off! I was very intrigued by this murder mystery and had a difficult time figuring out who the culprit was!
I highly recommend Murder She Wrote: Snowy with a Chance of Murder for its page-turning plot, wonderful characters, cozy setting, and puzzling mystery! 5 huge stars!
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

She lives in Western New York State (Go Bills!), where she enjoys cooking, crafts, classic movies and campy seventies television, board games, and spending time with her granddaughters.
