Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLike season five's finale, this was written as a possible swan song for Jessica, due to the uncertainty surrounding Angela Lansbury returning for another season. Because of this, two endings were filmed. One of these had Jessica wink at the camera (which could either be used or not depending on the outcome of negotiations with Lansbury). This was ultimately used and Lansbury did return for more series.
- GoofsWhen Sheriff Metzger pulls up outside Devlin's house, Vikki sinks down into the passenger seat of McGraw's car (where she is seen sitting in the longer shot immediately before), and reaches for the door handle. And then immediately gets out from driver's door, on the other side of the car.

Featured review
A very entertaining end to a Great seventh series.
A friend of Jessica's sends her the manuscript for his latest book, and soon several interested parties descend on Cabot Cove, with one mission, to get hold of it.
Series seven has been excellent in general, one of the most consistent runs in the show's history, and this is a fitting, quality end to it. It has an end of show feel about it, and if things had been different, this could have been the end for Lansbury.
What starts off as an almost light hearted caper, becomes something a lot deeper, a little serious, definitely an episode where it's not clear 'whodunnit,' or why, until the end.
This is a very well acted episode, with a very good cast, Leslie Easterbrook and Tony Lo Bianco were both terrific in their respective roles.
Hopefully series eight is as good, 8/10.
