Manuscript for Murder by Jessica Fletcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Published in 2018. Jessica Fletcher is visiting her publisher. He gives her a manuscript to read by a new author. At that moment, Jessica is sucked into a mystery full of suspense, intrigue and murder that will test her sleuthing skills. Can she find the answers before someone tries to kill her again?
There are certain things people expect when reading a book from this series. Usually, these books are cozy mysteries with a main character reminiscent of the well-known mystery television show. But that is nothing like this book. This is more like a fast-paced thriller with a gritty, hard-nosed sleuth who can handle interrogating people in back alleys or the White House. Several characters from the past make an appearance, but, they too, were a little harsher than what we expect. The plot is so enthralling that I couldn’t stop turning the pages until the culprit(s) were revealed. Even though this book was a refreshing take on the series, I like to go back to the cozier Murder, She Wrote stories.
