Jessica Fletcher: And just in case I don't get back.
Harry McGraw: You, Jessica, you're betting 20 bucks?

Featured review
An old Nag's story.
Two rival families, The Morgans and The Sterlings feud over a horse breeding matter, Jessica calls on the help of Harry McGraw, but things get worse when murder occurs.
After some very, very strong episodes, this one doesn't quite have the same level of impact, intrigue, or even interest. It's more a middle of the road episode, with nothing hugely memorable happening, but it's watchable, and there are some interesting characters.
The murder itself is one of the more obvious ones, the first suspect is a given, you'll know instantly who's going to get arrested, but the actual killers identity is not without imagination.
The horse whisperer is an interesting character, she's a bit of a crank, but she's put to amusing use, the scene of the horse's interview was bonkers. I hope that horse had a fee.
Nice to see Harry McGraw, good episode for him, I wasn't always blown away by some of the stories he features in, but he was great here.
6/10.
