Are two spinsters serial killers?
5 August 2023
Jessica finds suspicious activity brewing in her quiet town when two bodies are discovered in the Appletree sisters' garden. While the new sheriff, Mort Metzger, considers the case open and shut, Jessica can't believe her longtime neighbors have suddenly become serial killers. She and Metzger struggle to work together while the case reveals more twists and turns and additional people potentially looking to make a killing.

A gem of an episode that mixes the macabre and humour really well - it's sort of like Arsenic and old Lace in terms of the humour. The two sisters were hilarious and the idea of them being serial killers baffled Jessica. I loved the bit where she avoided the tea given to her just in case they poison in it.
