Summary: Almost 4 Stars
Review: I really enjoyed the last entry in this mystery series but this one fell a little flat. I noticed that, similar to the earlier books, there were some phrases repeated a few times that makes it a little repetitive. However, the mystery itself is interesting and, having lived in Indiana for a few years, I found it nice to recognize some placenames, etc.
In this entry, Jessica is a visiting professor at a small private university in Indiana. While there, a tornado strikes and leaves a professor dead; but was he truly killed by the tornado, or, as Jessica suspects, was there foul play involved? The mystery is wrapped up nicely and I found myself staying up late one evening to finish it. Looking forward to the next entry.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Mystery!
Review: Jessica is catch in a tornado while teaching at a University and of course finds herself involved in murder. This mystery novel was interesting and so enjoyable that I read it in 2 days flat. With each Jessica Fletcher mystery novel, they seem to be getting better and better. Be sure to pick this one up. Mrs. Fletcher, keep up the good work!

Summary: Of Green Acres and Munchkins - not
Review: This cozy continuation of Cabot Cove capers is a comfortable visit with old friends. The "Murder, She Wrote" book series is "based on the Universal television series" ostensibly written in the 1st person by Jessica Fletcher, with a little help from Donald Bain.

Jessica has to get out of Cabot Cove sometimes, lest the population be decimated by the need to kill off at least one of their number in every episode ;-) and so this time, she is teaching mystery writing at Schoolman College in bucolic Indiana. Or maybe this is more heavily on the Gothic side of American Gothic than bucolic - well, actually, Grant Wood's American Gothic is a dentist and his niece in Iowa - but anyway - here is our old friend Jessica amidst the cornfields of Indiana when along comes a tornado. No, Toto is not here - and there are no Munchkins to be found - just scheming academics and students trying to get an education amidst the tempests.

After the tornado, (who would have guessed?) there are dead bodies, who may or may not have perished due to natural disaster. And Jessica's on the case, with a little help from her friends back in Cabot Cove - to the chagrin of some of the collegiates, who are decidedly lacking in collegiality. Along the path to "Who or What Dunnit" enlightenment, our authors gently chide the current condition of academia.

Summary: Best" Murder, She Wrote" Ever
Review: This is definitely my favorite series of books. Out of this series, I cannot really concoct my favorite, however I believe this would be in the top three. Excellently written by Donald Bain, I would reccomend this to any murder mystery buff as well the series entirely.

Summary: Another sucsess!
Review: This MSW book was very good. When a profesor is found dead after a tornado, every-one jumps to the conclusion that it was an accidental death. But Jessica smells something foul, and soon starts her own investigation, and gets on thin ice with the local police. A great read!
