Happy new year, MSW fans! The threshold of a new year is a time of reflection for what has passed and of hope for what may come. I wish all of you a bright and prosperous 2024.

I offer you a timely entry in Murder, She Wrote fandom–book #42 of the eponymous novel series “co-written” by Donald Bain, Murder, She Wrote: Death of a Blue Blood. In this mystery, we see Jessica whisked away to an English castle to celebrate the New Year, only to find that bodies are dropping as quickly as the countdown ball, and with seemingly as little time to figure out the culprit!

I haven’t personally read this book, but I’ll be starting on the fourth book in this ongoing series soon and look forward to more as the year goes on. Happy sleuthing to you all!
