Soon, Jessica begins to investigate and solve real murders in and around her (fictional) small town of Cabot Cove, Maine.
For 12 seasons, which lasted from 1984 through 1996, Lansbury played widowed, retired teacher Jessica Fletcher, who had become a successful mystery novelist since her husband’s death.
I don’t remember who was killing all those people in Cabot Cove anymore.
Of course, even with her obvious accomplishments, Angela Lansbury was never a leading lady movie star, and it’s likely that many people wouldn’t know her today had it not been for Murder, She Wrote.
