The mystery story is close to true life accounts, happening all around the world, even now. Just maybe in another denomination(s). The story-telling is great- gradual from beginning to end. Without going back and forth. And teams of thieves and murderers are equally balanced by a great ansamble of our favorite heroes of TV characters, that we know and love. Some errors in writing and style are there, unfortunately. As well, as slang. But, as much as I despise them, in this book I overlook them.

This is a totally different new approach to the other mystery books in the series of "Murder, she wrote." "Manuscript for Murder" is a mystery within a mystery book. But not so far from the real world high societies realities where the fight for the "The best place under the sun" is truly happening. Plot is not bad, but grammatical errors are plenty. Still, it grabs your attention even though the murders are in abundance.

I would change the title of the Book as Above. Writing is not adequate: many grammatical and stylistical errors, unfortunately. The plot is not as solid as I wish it were. To my view, talking about characters of the mystery, I would eliminate the FBI agent and his helper, since they didn't serve any purpose and didn't not help solve the crime whatsoever ! Mrs. J.B. did, as always, with Seth and her other friends. The book was confusing at times, but I finished reading it, not without some pleasure.

I liked this "Murder, she wrote" volume by Jessica Fletcher and her co-author. The writing is very good and the plot is alright.

In many many cases the "Origins" are absent and instead, suppositions offered, often mistaken. Examples: "Cat got your tongue?"is synonym of "Did you swallow your tongue ?" The Origin is: when people get frightened, now or in in the centuries ago, they lost their ability to speak; and Not because the "cat" got their tongue...Other phrase is: "Catch more flies with honey than with vinegar" , because honey is sweet and sticky and not only insects like flies and etc. like the taste of it, but stay in it, since honey is gooey and sticky substance. And such samples are abound, unfortunately. So I wouldn't recommend this.
