- TriviaMildred Natwick co-starred alongside Angela Lansbury in The Court Jester (1955) starring Danny Kaye. The characters played by Natwick and Lansbury comment that it's been 30 years since they saw each other, a nod to their time working on the movie.
- GoofsWhen Jessica is comparing Carrie's handwritten letter to her Last Will and Testament, the supposed "will" is actually what appears to be a page from a transcript of one of Jessica's books. The "will" starts with "It was a dark and stormy night in Cabot Cove. I sat in my favorite rocker contemplating the evenings happenings with anxiety and regret."

Rev. Willie John Fargo: I've decided to go away for awhile... to Africa, Asia, South America, any place the simple folks need me.
Jessica Fletcher: Well, I will you luck, Willie John, and I hope that you find what you're looking for.
Rev. Willie John Fargo: Oh, I will, Miss Jessica. I will, indeed, the good Lord willing.

Featured review
Jessica handles the deaths of her many friends so well......
Jessica takes advantage of her time in Oklahoma to pay a visit to her old friend Carrie McKittrick. Before the pair can chat at great length Carrie's Stepson and Grandson burst in, berating her for changing her will, leaving her vast fortune to Rev. Willie John Fargo, head of the Electrical Cathedral. During the argument, Carries suffers a heart attack, and gets taken to the Church attached to the Electrical Cathedral. Soon after arriving, a body is found.
I must admit all I could think about watching this was what an appalling selection of wigs, so it made me laugh to read the other comments.
It's a pretty good mystery, a clever enough plot, though the involvement of the Electrical Cathedral movement, was I thought a little bit tacky.
The innocence of the show is never more apparent then here, to see Jessica picking the syringe up at the crime scene and pop it into her bag is quite amusing, not bothered by her great friends death at all, but a twinkle in the eye knowing there's a murder to solve.
Well acted, Mildred Natwick is particularly good, had a real sense of quality about her acting.
Pretty average in a strong series, definitely better then the poor Powder Keg, it's a solid watch, 7/10
