From AudioFile
Nothing is more intriguing than an old mansion, a snowstorm, and murder. And narrator Cynthia Darlow adeptly portrays Jessica Fletcher, New England accent and all. Anyone who has enjoyed the television series Murder, She Wrote will love listening to this whodunit. A wide variety of characters spend a weekend at a historic mansion, where the hosts put on murder mystery. Guests are challenged to find a make-believe killer. Meanwhile, a real murder is committed, and the suspense heats up. Darlows ability to portray so many characters is outstanding and makes it is easy for listeners to get caught up in the story.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Murder, She Wrote: A Question of Murder (Murder She Wrote) (Paperback) Donald Bain has turned out another highly entertaining entry in the "Murder She Wrote" series and in some ways this entry is the best so far. I do however have a couple of problems with this book and would prefer to get my objections out of the way in short order. The first problem that I found is a common problem among Yankee Americans who are attempting to be cute with Southern accents. Mr. Bain, y'all is a plural word and should never be used in the singular. This is a grammatical sin that the author commits several times in this book and I hope to never find this error in any of his future books. The second problem is an ongoing occurrence in this series and that is Jessica's obvious dislike of fat people. Although her friend Seth is rather plump she never fails to take a dig at any other fat character that shows up in these stories and if she uses the term corpulent one more time I think that I will scream. That said I must say that this was one of the more enjoyable books in this series. Very seldom is it possible for Mr. Bain's readers to solve the mystery before Jessica does but in this case it is quite doable. There are the usual twists and turns in this story and one must pay very close attention but all of the clues are provided in this case which is a policy that I wish Mr. Bain would hold to more often. As usual Jessica is a delight except of course when she is picking on fat people and the rest of the characters are an intriguing bunch to say the least. Most interesting is Jessica's fellow mystery writer from New Orleans who puts the ghosts that she sees into her stories but she is also unfortunately the one who goes around saying y'all in the singular. Another mystery writer is also on hand for the murder mystery weekend at this historic Berkshires hotel and he fills the shoes of the character one would most like to see murdered. Add in a real police inspector who is working his first murder case, the fictional Deputy Dolt, an old hotel with a lot of secret passages and a fierce snowstorm and you get a highly entertaining book. In fact, among the books in this series that do not feature the Cabot Cove gang this is probably the most enjoyable. Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
