I admire…Jessica Fletcher


Yes I’m talking about the nosey mystery writer from Cabot Cove Maine. I’m sure many of us have made light of how wherever she went someone ended up dead and she, not the police, would be the one to solve the case.

I love this show “Murder, She Wrote.” I watch the re-runs on the Hallmark Channel and I even check-out the DVDs from the library. Isn’t it funny though how this show differs from the crime dramas of today. The shows focus on the police dealing with murder on a daily basis, not an everyday citizen who is always on the scene or in close proximity of a murder. those of us who watched the show and those who created and wrote for the show never realized how silly this was. But I guess they were pretty good writers though for the show to captivate viewers and stay on the air as many seasons as it did.

The thing that has me baffled is how I admire her classic fashion sense 25 years later. She always dressed so smart and I often notice a classic Coach bag on her shoulder or in her hand…or the basket of her bike (she never learned to drive).

I’ve started to look in catalogs from places like The Vermont Country Store and think “would Jessica wear this?”
