Just following Angela Lansbury's death, I decided to give her famous "Murder, She Wrote" a try. So far, I've enjoyed it very much and am glad I finally got around to watching the show. That being said, a few episodes are rather weak...such as having killers inexplicably confessing when confronted or having obvious plot holes. However, "Sudden Death" seems to be a strong episode...without the usual confessions or plot difficulties.
The show begins with a WEIRD plot....a relative of Jessica's dies and leaves her something odd...4% of a professional football team! While this seems insignificant, it turns out that there is an ongoing fight over control of the team...with each faction having only 48% of the ownership. So, if one of the factions can get Jessica's 4%, then they will control the team and do with it what they like. Not surprisingly, the jerk who wants to own the team just to move it to another city is someone everyone hates...and soon he assumes room temperature. Jessica naturally take sit upon herself to investigate.
What I like about this one is that the mystery and solution to it made a lot of sense and satisfies. Additionally, the characters are very interesting and the story seemed fresher than usual. Well worth seeing.
