Never saw it coming!
I've long loved Murder, She Wrote, but this episode had passed me by. I don't want to spoil anything, I'll just say we follow a fairly standard MSW murder mystery, Jessica going through her familiar routine, suspects, alibis, more suspects - and then the ending! Which can be looked on as either a 'cop-out', or a 'Whoa!' Well, for me it was definitely a 'Whoa!'. I never saw it coming. Looking back, I should have done; but I never saw it. Great stuff 8/10
