Ugh, I hated Elizabeth, Jessica, Jeffrey, and Aaron so much in this book. Liz for being a hateful shrew to Heather because Heather dared to have different interests than St. Liz.
Aaron - for being a horrible person and not seeking help because of his Daddy Issues.
Jeffrey - for being a worthless enabler.
Jessica for being stupid and not reading a product label. And then actually profiting from her mistake. SERIOUSLY? They didn't bother to read the instructions! Why should thay win a frakkin' lawsuit?!

Cabot Cove is Still Proving to be Deadly
Labor Day in Cabot Cove, Maine, means the Wirth’s annual end of summer picnic, and Jessica Fletcher is there to enjoy the time with her friends. The party ends in tragedy, however, when Hal Wirth dies of a heart attack. Something feels off to Jessica about his death, and she starts looking for answers. When she is warned off and another body turns up, Jessica knows she must be on the right track. Can she prove it?
As big a fan of the show as I am, I have never picked up one of the tie in novels until now. I’m glad I finally did because I really enjoyed this book. The Cabot Cove episodes were always my favorite, and I enjoyed reconnecting with Mort and Seth as well as Jessica. They were all in fine form, and it was comforting to be in their presence again. The mystery was complex, with several surprises that kept me turning pages. Unfortunately, I did feel that the ending was short changed, leaving one major plot point unaddressed. Still, I’m glad I picked up this book overall.

My unpopular opinion for today is that I was not impressed by Jessica Jones Saeson 1. A lot of people's highlight is Kilgrave, but I found him one-note and boring. And the lead character, Jessica, doesn't really grow and neither do the characters around her.
Enter Season 2, characters that actually change throughout the story. And not just Jessica. Hogarth, Trish, Malcolm. They all experience real growth and I interesting ways.
I was blown away by the midseason twist. That was when I was totally sold.
I will admit that I was a little disappointed with the ending, of for no other reason than found it anticlimactic. That's the final point it didn't get. But as far as keeping me involved in the characters for 13 episodes, I think they nailed it. Can't wait for Season 3.

Jessica is well know in this season. Guilt at killing Killgrave eating away at her. Then the introduction of her origins, Trish’s adiction issues. They have padded out the original characters

Binge watching the last season today as it’s leaving Netflix end of the month hopefully eventually Disney plus some day. Anyway loved the show since the first episode Krysten Ritter is perfectly cast as Jessica jones the hero of the show. Hen there’s Rachel Taylor as her sister who’s just as good. And then there’s David tennant as kilgrave the purple man who almost steals th e show as the villain of season one. And if Jessica jones joins the mcu one day then Krysten Ritter should return

Jessica’s First Murder Mystery Comes Back to Haunt Her
When Jessica Fletcher sits down to be interviewed by a student from Cabot Cove High School, she is surprised to find the student bringing up Jessica’s first time solving a murder. No, it wasn’t at the launch party of her first book, but it was twenty-five years ago when she, her husband Frank, and their nephew Grady were living in Appleton, Maine. The principal where Jessica was a substitute English teacher was murdered, and Jessica helped solve the case. Jessica usually doesn’t talk about it, and she deflects again, but when she goes to apologize to the student later, she discovers that the woman who interviewed her wasn’t a student at the high school at all. Who interviewed her? What is her interest in the case?
Going into this book, I was concerned that this book was going to contradict things established in the pilot episode of the TV show, but it does a good job of explaining things so that this doesn’t happen. We do spend part of the book in the past, and all the transitions are easy to follow. I found both mysteries, past and present, to be very compelling, and I couldn’t put the book down until I reached the climax. Unfortunately, the climax is a bit over the top, which has happened in the books I’ve read in the series. Likewise, I did find that Jessica, Mort, and Seth spent more time sniping at each other than I remembered from most episodes of the show. On the other hand, Jessica has stopped swearing, which was a welcome return to normalcy for the character. This book is the fiftieth novel based on the show, and as a result manages to work in a few Easter Eggs that fans will enjoy. If you are a fan, you’ll enjoy this entry.
