[first lines]
Paddock: There are times when the forces of life combine to create a power where all things are possible, where a strong man can act with speed and decisiveness. For the timid, a moment never realized. For the bold, a moment that can catapult him to undreamed-of plateaus of personal wealth and power. Your will is extremely powerful, Mr. McCormack. It shall overpower those with whom you compete. And I can tell you, that will be soon, very soon.

Featured review
Was there a murder?
This particular Murder She Wrote has the farewell acting appearance of a favorite classic film star of mine Cornel Wilde. Wilde is also the victim in this story.
But the victim of what exactly? Wilde is an industrial tycoon who has gathered a number of friends and members of his company board among them Jessica Fletcher who is trying to keep a factory open in good old Cabot Cove. After a sumptuous dinner hosted by Wilde and wife Joanna Pettet he announces to one and all reports of his retirement have been greatly exaggerated.
But later on Wilde is found dead in his hot tube with a small television in it as well. He might have pulled the thing in accidentally on his own or it could have gotten in the tub with some other individual's help.
Jessica's partner in the investigation is Dr. Richard Jaeckel as they try to prove there was indeed a murder before looking for a culprit. Of course you know there was one. Especially with all the palace intrigues involving Wilde's successor.
I did enjoy Ray Walston former cabinet under secretary of the Treasury and now hard as nails business tycoon himself. I wish we saw more of him.
Nice story, Jessica Fletcher seems to be the only one on that board without her own agenda.
