Fires of jealousy in Cabot Cove
21 April 2018
This episode of Murder She Wrote has the town of Cabot Cove celebrating the acquisition of a new state of the art fire engine. Of course there's Mayor Richard Paul making sure to gather the credit.

At the same time Angela Lansbury gets a nice old bureau chest of drawers and finds an unopened letter intended for Jonathan Goldsmith from his wife Susan Anspach. Lansbury gives it to Goldsmith and that starts a chain of events that leads to Goldsmith's murder. His body is found in George Furth's furniture store after office hours and after it was set on fire.

Ron Masak who is still settling into his job as the new sheriff in Cabot Cove has among other problems an insurance investigator played by Robin Riker who seems to be just looking to show up Sheriff Metzger. She's lively and funny and Masak's reactions are even funnier.

Goldsmith was a boor and a drunk, still he was murdered. The investigation was taking an entirely wrong track until Jessica Fletcher sets it right.

The ending, right out of Mack Sennett.
