Former high school English teacher and famed mystery writer Jessica Fletcher (Dame Angela Lansbury) has a gift for solving mysteries. You see, it seems murder follows her around, whether it be to the houses of her seemingly endless number of friends, nieces, and nephews, or right in her hometown of Cabot Cove, Maine. Jessica is sometimes assisted by her friend Dr. Seth Hazlitt (William Windom) or the local Sheriff, Amos Tupper (Tom Bosley) and Tupper's successor, Mort Metzger (Ron Masak), a former New York City cop. Sometimes, later in the series, Jessica would only serve as narrator. In later seasons, Jessica moved to Manhattan to teach criminology at Manhattan University.

On the other hand, the repetitive use of certain musical cues in Murder, She Wrote can become predictable and somewhat tiresome. While the music fits the genre and atmosphere of the series, it lacks variety and originality. It would have been more engaging if the soundtrack had explored different styles and tones to match the diverse storylines and characters in the show.
Anthony Jones
3/10
The soundtrack for Murder, She Wrote feels outdated and lacks the suspenseful and mysterious tones that you would expect from a mystery series. It often fails to heighten the tension during crucial moments in the show.
