A fun read

By far, the best Murder, She Wrote book I've read. Ot was able to keep my interest from start to finish.

Jessica Never Lets You Down

Trick or Treachery -- I read it through Halloween because it was intended to be a Halloween read. But, it would be an engaging read no matter what the season. As always Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury) peoples her stories with characters you come to know, or already know from her series Murder She Wrote. Always true to their role you; know who they are. In Trick or Treachery the clues, the red herrings sit there challenging the reader to guess whodunit? Could it be the thorns of rose bushes or the clawless cat that are the deciding clue? Or the reddest herrings? A costume party with a cadre of moose costumes provided by the employer, host of the Halloween Party, give the reader something to try to ferret through looking for who belongs and who doesn't, who could be a murderer, who has motive, means and opportunity. Be ready for a surprise. Be ready to say - augh! Why didn't I see that coming? No matter what, you are sure to enjoy another chapter in the wonderful tales that have become Murder She Wrote's signature. Delightful and highly recommended.

Brilliant!

I was slightly sceptical about this book. The title seemed to point towards a more horrific book as apposed to one referring to crime, but now, this book retains the fantastic criminal theme of every Murder She Wrote before it. The chilling " Legend of Cabot Cove " is disturbed during a haloween party and as the legend arises, it brings too the most unusual of murders. This book will make you want to check every window and door in your house, it'll change how you live. The book is guaranteed to make you want to turn every page and you certaintly will: To miss it is a crime in itself! I wouldn't however, recommend it to younger readers of the series!

The Legend of Cabot Cove

I received this book as a gift, and couldn't be happier with it. I've read several of the Murder, She Wrote books, and found this one to be my favorite so far.Jessica Fletcher is pulled into another mystery right in Cabot Cove. This is a Halloween novel, and deals with ghosts, legends, communicating with the dead, and stolen formulas. All the action starts at a huge Halloween party given in one of Cabot Coves mansions, and progresses into the nearby cemetery. The characters have real development through the story, and following suit, the novel takes an unexpected turn at the end. This book is perfect for a cold night at home, and a big cup of tea.

Trick or Treachery... Definitely a Treat!

Wow! I just got the book a few days ago and was not able to put it down. The writing is of the highest quality, and is a real "page-turner" from the very beginning. Jessica and Seth are planning to attend the annual Halloween party in costume, Seth as a military man and Jessica as "The Legend of Cabot Cove", setting up the reader for a fascinating tale! The book starts out promising a lot of intrigue, and it doesn't let you down! This is the best book I've read in awhile!

The best cozy mystery in the series!

I just finished "Trick or Treachery," the best book in the Murder, She Wrote series. Each chapter is filled with quality writing and suspense. Other books that are similar to this one and which I am comparing it to are the Agathie Christie series and William Harrington's "Colombo" collection. "Trick or Treachery" is being highly rated to these other great mysteries due to good, quality writing and plot interest.
