Reports of her arrest and later her death are greatly exaggerated. Posing as
none other than JB Fletcher, Jane Withers is hot on a case exposing cheating
at dog shows. But she walks into something bigger than that and Withers
is one of three deaths in this episode of Murder She Wrote.
Good thing Angela Lansbury was doing a book tour in the general area of
Texas where all this takes place. But in addition to this murder she also has
to deal with identity theft as when the reports of her death reach the media, she's got all kinds of credit card problems.
But Jessica Fletcher gets lots of help and in this small town there's a small
JB Fletcher Fan Club that Withers was a member. Some of the others include Marie Windsor, Terry Moore and several other contemporaries of
Lansbury's back in the day of the studio system.
It takes a while but the main reason for the homicides is that most prosaic
of motives, greed.
An episode for nostalgia lovers.
