Jessica Fletcher becomes a speaker at Speakers' Incorporated attended by various authors. Russian author Uri Malenkovitch also attends to promote his book about the KGB. When he is killed, Jessica must help a struggling writer who is accused of his murder.
Angela Lansbury looks older yet shines as always, with her reassuring, matronly presence causing to make you forget about the world's ills for just a short while. She gives her character a human quality, which I feel is one of the reasons why MSW was so successful. Here, this TV movie isn't so different than the episode, except that it's longer, elaborating on characterisation and plot. The plot is quite engaging, and it's just all cosy fun that is so much fun.
