Murder, She Wrote: Trouble At High Tide

Description for MURDER, SHE WROTE: TROUBLE AT HIGH TIDE by Jessica Fletcher & Donald Bain:

A week in sunny Bermuda is exactly what Jessica needs after wrapping up a long, draining national book tour. But when she arrives, the local population is abuzz over a trio of brutal murders, each bearing an eerie resemblance to the infamous 1888 Jack the Ripper killings. The idyllic island is on edge -- who will be the next victim?

With the legend of Jack the Ripper very much on everyone's mind, Jessica attends a lavish party at the extravagant waterfront mansion of her friend and host for the week, New Jersey district judge Thomas Betterton. At the end of the night, Jessica takes a relaxing walk on the pink-sanded beach, only to stumble upon a horrifying discovery: the body of one of the partygoers.

Jessica contemplates heading home to Cabot Cove, but decides against it when her old friend Scotland Yard inspector George Sutherland calls. He and colleagues from the Yard have been dispatched to Bermuda to help investigate the murders and to determine if the killing of Betterton's party guest is connected. Jessica is soon drawn into the case, and she finds herself dangerously close to the killer....

This is #37 in A Murder, She Wrote Mystery.
