A Fatal Feast

Jessica Fletcher would like nothing more than to sit back and relax as Thanksgiving comes to Cabot Cove. But this year, she's already got more on her plate than she can handle. Jessica is suffering from a rare case of writer's block, and the deadline for her new novel is fast approaching. Not helping is her involvement with the Cabot Cove Thanksgiving pageant, which she's spending too much time on instead of laboring away at the computer. Also, her dear friend Scotland Yard inspector George Sutherland is coming from London to experience the American holiday traditions firsthand. And, most distressing of all, Jessica is hosting a bountiful Thanksgiving dinner for a guest list that is growing by the day.
But, in keeping with the spirit of the season, Jessica carries on toward her culinary conquest, and she couldn't be more thankful for the results. Until she and George take a post-turkey stroll and stumble upon the body of a man - on the ground with an ornate carving knife stuck in his chest. Everyone knows that holidays can be murder - but Jessica is going to make sure this is one holiday that doesn't go unsolved.
