- GoofsWhen receiving the anonymous letter suggesting to check the digitalis levels in order to reveal murder, the secretary says she 'tried to handle it as little as possible as soon as it came in'. Nevertheless, the Police Commissioner does nothing to prevent tampering and grabs the note with both hands, smearing it all over with his fingerprints and then hands it to Jessica (who is slightly more cautious and handles it with minimum finger contact).

Featured review
JB takes over
This episode has Jessica Fletcher venturing into the realm of true crime as her
fellow author Van Johnson who writes Mickey Spillane type stuff is working on a
book about a real murder where Johnson feels the wrong man has done time for
the murder of his wife. His powerful father-in-law Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. has
squelched reopening of the case.
Angela Lansbury does her sleuthing while Johnson is being waked and buried. Of course Johnson is right, Zimbalist wrong and there is a very good reason why the cops have not followed up on what Johnson and she have uncovered.
It's a suspect one would never suspect.
A nice guest cast and Lansbury put this one over.
