This 2 hour pilot episode of Murder She Wrote shows us how Angela Lansbury became the celebrity mystery writer we knew and loved. Michael Horton made the first of his many appearances as her nephew Grady sends in a story she wrote as a hobby and it becomes a best seller. So this former English teacher develops into the cosmopolitan world traveler and American version of Agatha Christie, Jessica Fletcher.
In this episode we get two murders to solve, first that of Dennis Patrick a rather sleazy gumshoe given to blackmail killed at a costume party that Lasnbury is attending given by Arthur Hill. Another of the guests at said party Brian Keith is also later murdered.
Hill and Lansbury seem to be getting something going. It was as serious as I ever saw in the whole history of the show.
Also Lansbury puts herself in harm's way. Her encounter with those street thugs is as much danger as I ever saw her in.
A nice program sendoff for a beloved TV character.
