[Seth is dressed up in a Revolutionary War costume]
Dr. Seth Hazlitt: I can't wait to get out of this monkey suit.
Sheriff Mort Metzger: Oh, I wouldn't hurry, Doc. You're a walking, talking photo-op for all the tourists that are pouring into town.
Jessica Fletcher: Sure. And I mean, there's next year's celebration to consider. I mean, once you take that off, you might not be able to get back into it again.
Dr. Seth Hazlitt: Cute. Very cute.

Now, I have got to be honest, I struggled with this episode, it has some good points, but overall, I just found it a little bit silly. The first half an hour or so is pretty poor, it gets better when the body is discovered, but it's a little too little too late by then.
Paul Taverner, we gave another of those one dimensional British villains, with a wonderfully RP accent.
Some of the extras look as though they're taking it seriously, some of them.....well at one point one of them appears to be doing a Benny Hill impression, it's very hard to take it seriously. I'm not sure the ending works terribly well.
Cabot Cove looks almost unrecognisable to years gone by.
Average at best.
6/10.
