If you are a fan of this series, you will enjoy this book. If you haven't read anything in this series, you can start here. The books do not have to be read in any particular order. Fletcher writes an easy to follow book and she includes new, as well as recurring characters from her home town of Cabot Cove, Maine. All involve a murder without the blood and gore that is the style of some authors. She writes a good clean book that is perfect for the plane, pool, beach or just about anywhere. Enjoy!

While I don't usually write a review for the "Murder, She Wrote" mysteries, I do rate them. I enjoy them, but regard them as light mysteries. However, for this one I saw a mistake on page 42 which really shocked me...
"But when Jefferson Davis, secretary of war in Lincoln's first cabinet..." What!!!!!!!
This is like saying, "When Adolph Hitler, secretary of war in Franklin Roosevelt's first cabinet...."
Jefferson was president of the Confederacy during the American Civil War, and, as such, was Lincoln's enemy, as well as the enemy of the United States. However, Davis was secretary of war in President Franklin Pierce's administration (March 1853---March 1857).
Obviously, someone didn't do their homework (research).
As far as the story itself goes, this one was very different from previous books in the series, as not all concerns are wrapped up in the end, and may never be.

Bestselling mystery writer Jessica Fletcher is embarking on the trip of a lifetime. The first stop is Washington, D.C. - and a series of lavish receptions, culminating in a meeting with the President. Then it's on to Russia, where Jessica and several publishing colleagues are on a mission to help their Russian counterparts build a publishing industry - and to help nurture the struggling young democracy. Despite warnings from several friends about Moscow's high crime rate, Jessica can't wait to see the magnificent sights of the city.
But her dream trip threatens to turn into a nightmare. First, a mysterious man approaches her with a dubious request - and within a day his corpse turns up at the Jefferson Memorial. Once Jessica reaches Moscow, things go from bad to worse after she and her publisher witness a horrifying crime. When murder turns up on the dinner menu, Jessica realizes that intrigue and espionage aren't dead in the new Russia - and if she doesn't figure out whom to trust - and fast - she very well may be.
