Killing in a Koi Pond
by Jessica Fletcher, Terrie Farley Moran
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy from the Great Escapes Book Tours. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Killing in a Koi Pond by Jessica Fletcher and Terrie Farley Moran is a fantastic book that made me think that it was an episode of Murder, She Wrote.
Jessica Fletcher is a sleuth that everyone should know about if they saw a commercial for Murder, She Wrote, or even seen these books in a bookstore. She is a mystery writer that also somehow stumbles onto a body. Ms. Fletcher has the worst luck ever when it comes to finding dead bodies. This is my first time reading a book that is based on the show, and I have to say that I liked it. The author did a good job of capturing Jessica. I liked how Jessica uses all of her resources to help her old college friend out of the bind that she's in. Jessica is a great friend, and I wouldn't mind knowing a person like her. Well, except for the dead bodies always hanging around her.
The Mystery
Now comes the whole reason why Jessica Fletcher is our sleuth. Jessica was out running the morning after she arrived in Columbia, South Carolina, and finds the dead body of Willis Nickens in his wife's koi pond. Well, not all the way in the koi pond, but enough to warrant them to get taken away to make sure they didn't eat any evidence. Someone lured the old man outside, killed him, and tried to mask what they did. As in true Jessica Fletcher fashion, she is on the case to see why someone would kill this man.
Could it be the son-in-law that is stealing from his daughter's trust fund? Maybe the business partner who seems like a joke? Could it be the lady that Willis is letting stay on the property? Could it be a servant? Or even more, could it be neighbors? What motive could have lead to this death? Jessica is on the case, especially when her best friend is on the verge of being arrested.
Killing in a Koi Pond by Jessica Fletcher and Terrie Farley Moran is a fantastic book that I'm happy to have picked up to read. Ms. Moran did a fantastic job capturing Jessica and maybe two other people from the show that we fans truly adore. I won't say who since you will need to read the book, know that the author has done a great job. For the mystery, I did figure out who did it but not why they did it. I was actually surprised by the motive for it. I am giving this four stars and recommending it to any fan of the show to try this one out.
