We are off once again with Jessica and her crew trying to solve a murder. Moran does a great job of keeping true to Jessica and the Murder She Wrote tv show format. As I was reading, I could picture every moment in the story, just as if I was watching it on TV. I highly recommend this series especially if you like the cozy mystery genre. It is always fun reading about Jessica and her crew at Cabot Cove. This time around Jessica was invited to speak at the Boston Public Library and Dr. Hazlitt was invited to visit a colleague in Boston. They both decide to take the trip together and also do some sightseeing and visit a few other friends while they are there. One of the first friends they visit is PI Harry McGraw at Gilhooley’s. While at Gilhooley’s, Jessica meets Cookie’s daughter Aileen and her boyfriend. The next day Aileen’s boyfriend was murdered, and Aileen finds the body and might be implicated in his murder. Jessica and the gang start to investigate and to prove that Aileen didn’t commit the murder. Pick up a copy and enjoy the crew of sleuths from Cabot Cove and Boston.
Thank you to Netgalley and Berkley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Murder, She Wrote devotees will find much to enjoy in this latest series entry. Jessica is invited to speak at the Boston Public Library and her Cabot Cove bestie, Dr. Seth Hazlitt, decides to tag along and visit a bean town colleague. Once there, Jessica and Seth connect with Jessica's good friend detective Harry McGray, who is working a case involving a pharaceutical executive who is being blackmailed in connection with a new drug. Seth's medical background leads Harry to draw him in to Harry's investigation. Another series regular, Cookie, bartender at Harry's hangout, Gilhooley's, has problems of his own when his daughter Aileen is implicated in the murder of boyfriend, a slick manipulator who has dubious connections in the world of underground betting.

A Body in Boston stays true to the Murder, She Wrote canon, and I could envision this story easily being a script from the tv series with a few modern updates. The mysteries are credible and well told, keeping the reader guessing.

A visit with Jessica and her crew is always a pleasure and A Body in Boston does not disappoint.
