"Who Killed J. B. Fletcher?" is a very funny and enjoyable episode. In many ways, it reminds me of the Cabot Cove episodes and the hair salon gossips...which also rank among their best episodes.
When the story begins, an older lady (Jane Withers) is caught sneaking into a residence. When she's caught, she says she's J. B. Fletcher! Later, she is killed and folks assume that Jessica is dead....and soon it's reported in the media. In the meantime, Jessica has come to a small Texas town where all this occurred in order to clear her name and figure out what really happened. It turns out the dead woman was a member of a Jessica Fletcher cult...and the various surviving members help Jessica unravel the mystery.
This episode is fun...something you certainly can't say of most episodes. It's also very creative...and well worth seeing.
