This episode of Murder She Wrote has Jessica Fletcher at a writer's convention
where she runs into many of her literary colleagues, some of them a lot nicer
than others. The one she practically has to be a nursemaid to is Paul Sand a
perpetually drunk poet. It is he who is suspected of murdering arrogant one
book wonder novelist Kenneth Mars, stabbing him with an umbrella that can
turn into a sword for defense. Mars also has the draft of a second book in his
possession and that too is stolen.
This MSW story is interesting however for two things. First Ron Masak shows up as a homicide detective four years before he became the sheriff of Cabot Cove. He has to follow however full of himself District Attorney Pat Harrington who no one can stand. Still Jessica with more patience than normal leads Harrington to a solution. Not liking it a bit, but justice is justice.
