[first lines]
Paddock: There are times when the forces of life combine to create a power where all things are possible, where a strong man can act with speed and decisiveness. For the timid, a moment never realized. For the bold, a moment that can catapult him to undreamed-of plateaus of personal wealth and power. Your will is extremely powerful, Mr. McCormack. It shall overpower those with whom you compete. And I can tell you, that will be soon, very soon.

Killed twice...just to be certain!
"The Way to Dusty Death" is a decent installment of "Murder, She Wrote", though one of the confessions is a bit...well, silly.
Cornell Wilde plays an elderly CEO who is expected to retire soon. He calls his top executives to his house for a big party where he's expected to announce the retirement. However, instead, he announces that he's NOT retiring and he hates everyone of them (or something kind of to this effect). Soon, he's found death, which is no surprise...and Jessica just happens to be on hand and she investigates the case.
This is an unusual case because the deceased appears to have been killed twice! Assassins tried to poison him AND electrocute him! While this and the solution are very interesting, one of the characters (who is a LOT like Lady Macbeth) quickly admits to trying to poison the old man and considering there's really no evidence, this makes little sense...especially for such a conniving wench! Still, the acting and episode are enjoyable despite this.
