Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJessica investigates a murder on the set of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960). In the opening credits there is a burst of the theme tune from Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955) and a man that looks like Hitchcock crosses the street. This is a nod to the cameos that Hitchcock made in most of his films.
- GoofsWhen Jessica looks out of the Bates house's kitchen window she sees the motel below. The kitchen is at the back of the house and faces away from the motel.

[last lines]
Ben Miller: So what do you think about this place now? I was right, wasn't I? Of all the places for a murder to take place, it would happen here.
Jessica Fletcher: I disagree. Pain, anger, murder, they have no borders, no geography. What happened here was simply another chapter in the sad tragedy of human affairs. I mean, it could've happened anywhere. No, Ben, there's nothing wrong with that house. It isn't evil or strange. It's just a set.
Ben Miller: Maybe so.
Jessica Fletcher: [noticing curtains move] Ben, is- is anyone supposed to be inside there?
Ben Miller: No. We locked it up good and tight. Why?
Jessica Fletcher: Never mind.

Well they certainly took a chance with this one, but they got it absolutely spot on. I thoroughly enjoyed it, an intriguing mystery, but the mix up with Psycho was brilliantly done, and so unexpected.
A great mix of mystery and horror, it was a winning formula. The sets are brilliant, great looking episode.
Whenever Jessica's work has been adapted, be it for the big screen or stage, it's always carnage, you wouldn't think anyone would touch her books, but foolishly they keep coming back for more.
There are a few amusing moments, and that opening sequence featuring a Hitchcock stand in was brilliant.
8/10.
