Rating: Summary: A must read! Review: Although I'm a fan of the Murder, She Wrote mysteries (both on tv and in print) and I almost always enjoy the plot lines, I find myself growing very, VERY weary of Jessica Fletcher's goody-two-shoes, self-righteous personality - and it was particularly ridiculous in this book. All of the characters - not just J Fletcher - are so incredibly flat and two-dimensional that the entire book reads like a 1st-grade primer, not an adult novel peopled by believable characters. Jessica was so judgemental, catty and holier-than-thou through this entire book that I found myself truly disliking her character for the first time. The story line itself - the haunting and legend of Cabot Cove - was the only interesting aspect of this book, and is the only reason I bothered to finish it. I was very, very disappointed.

Rating: Summary: A must read! Review: Definitely one of the best of the MSW book series. I couldn't put it down! Well thought out plot with lots of twists and turns! Set up with a Halloween holiday theme and it's definitely enough to make the hair stand up on the back of your neck!!
Rating: Summary: The best cozy mystery in the series! Review: I just finished "Trick or Treachery," the best book in the Murder, She Wrote series. Each chapter is filled with quality writing and suspense. Other books that are similar to this one and which I am comparing it to are the Agathie Christie series and William Harrington's "Colombo" collection. "Trick or Treachery" is being highly rated to these other great mysteries due to good, quality writing and plot interest.
Rating: Summary: Brilliant! Review: I received this book as a gift, and couldn't be happier with it. I've read several of the Murder, She Wrote books, and found this one to be my favorite so far.Jessica Fletcher is pulled into another mystery right in Cabot Cove. This is a Halloween novel, and deals with ghosts, legends, communicating with the dead, and stolen formulas. All the action starts at a huge Halloween party given in one of Cabot Coves mansions, and progresses into the nearby cemetery. The characters have real development through the story, and following suit, the novel takes an unexpected turn at the end. This book is perfect for a cold night at home, and a big cup of tea.

Rating: Summary: Brilliant! Review: I was slightly sceptical about this book. The title seemed to point towards a more horrific book as apposed to one referring to crime, but now, this book retains the fantastic criminal theme of every Murder She Wrote before it. The chilling " Legend of Cabot Cove " is disturbed during a haloween party and as the legend arises, it brings too the most unusual of murders. This book will make you want to check every window and door in your house, it'll change how you live. The book is guaranteed to make you want to turn every page and you certaintly will: To miss it is a crime in itself! I wouldn't however, recommend it to younger readers of the series!
Rating: Summary: Not close to good. Review: This has been following suit with most MSW books. The characters are really one-sided, and Jessica is too. This story-line had a lot of potential, but it is plauged by one-dimensional beings. I would read a few more books in the series before picking this one up.
Rating: Summary: Halloween murder solved with meticulous skill Review: This was an excellent book!
