Ep 5. Sing a Song of Murder

Jessica Fletcher finds herself embroiled in yet another murder mystery in the episode Sing a Song of Murder, the fifth episode of the second season of Murder, She Wrote. Set in the fictional town of Cabot Cove, Maine, the episode begins with Jessica attending a party hosted by her friend, Eve Crystal.

Eve is a well-known singer who has retired from the stage and now runs a publishing company. She has invited several of her friends and business associates to the party to celebrate the release of a new book.

As the party gets underway, it becomes clear that there is tension between some of the guests. Davey Fenwick, one of Eve’s business associates, seems to be particularly agitated and is behaving erratically. When he is overheard arguing with Eve, Jessica suspects that there is more going on than just a disagreement over business matters.

The tension at the party comes to a head when Davey is found dead in Eve’s study. The evidence points to Eve as the killer, with several witnesses claiming to have seen Eve and Davey arguing shortly before his death.

Despite the mounting evidence against her friend, Jessica is convinced that Eve is innocent and sets out to prove it. She begins by interviewing the other guests at the party, hoping to uncover a motive and a possible suspect.

As she delves deeper into the mystery, Jessica discovers that there is more going on than just a simple case of murder. Eve’s business dealings are more complex than she originally thought, and there are several people who stand to benefit from Davey’s death.

With the help of her friend Seth Hazlitt, the town’s doctor, Jessica is able to piece together the clues and solve the case. In a dramatic finale, she confronts the killer and reveals their true identity, leading to a satisfying conclusion that ties up all of the loose ends.
