Book Reviews of Murder, She Wrote: Rum & Razors
Book Review: "A Caribbean Mystery"
Summary: 3 Stars
This is the second book in the series of the new "Murder, she wrote" mysteries. This time murder takes a holiday with Jessica to the Caribbean. She settles into an extremely luxurious and expensive resort, property of old friends from Cabot Cove and, both writers; he a travel writer who produces his own tour guides; and she, a gourmet cook who mixes her Maine coking with that of the islands. However, as soon as she arrives Jessica senses a lot of tension in her hosts (the owners of the inn). Problems succeed one another until, during a night stroll about the beach, Jessica herself finds a corpse. None other than her own host friend, brutally murdered. Jessica is not convinced of the guilt of an ex-employee who's been apprehended by the police, and she launches into a sleuthing sequence of events that very much annoys everybody, including the local police and her newly widowed host-friend. I have found this book to be more truthful than the first one to the characters created in the original TV series. It certainly is an improvement from "Manhattans & murder", (which was the first one), but I would not exactly characterize it as unique. The first chapters are somewhat slow, then the murder happens, quite unexpectedly and it will catch you by surprise - good. More slowness right up to the point where the novel really picks-up (too many red herrings perhaps?); and then in the last five chapters is when I couldn't put it down. I have to say also, that although in the TV series Jessica's power of deduction to solve murders is extremely fast and brilliant; in this book she seems much slower. I could pinpoint whodunit even faster than her - something I don't usually achieve with the TV version. Readers new to mysteries will find this an enchanting, maybe even exciting, novel; but as far as I am concerned, it is a simple one.
