When Literary Lines, a magazine with which Jessica has a contract, changes overnight into something out of Playboy, Grady drives his aunt to Christopher Bundy's villa to protest the contract. Within hours, it becomes apparent that Jessica is far from alone in her distaste. When someone in the house registers their disapproval with a bullet, Jessica finds herself up to her neck in another mystery, wading through the dark history of the suspects to figure out who hated Bundy enough to kill.
Christopher Bundy is a Hugh Hefner-type figure in this ok MSW mystery. Of course, he's the victim here with plenty of suspects, one of them being Robert Stack. Jessica thinks he's innocent. She's very focused in this episode which has an air of a serious tone. The scenic villa makes a fine backdrop.
