Murder, She Wrote

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.

01E02 - Birds of a Feather

Jessica visits her niece, Victoria ''Vicky'' Brandon, in San Francisco, who tells her that her fiancé, New York would be-actor Howard Griffin, isn't working in life insurance as he pretended. The ladies go to Mr. Drake's night-club, which Vicky found out he's somehow connected to, see he's performing there as a drag-queen and, worse, during star Michael Dupont's act, Howard runs out in panic after finding Drake's shot corpse. Vicky believes in Howard's innocence unconditionally, even accepts his weird job, so Jessica is determined to help, initially unappreciative, SFPD Detective Lt. Floyd Novack find the real killer. The club proves a viper's nest full of motives, including promising performer Freddy York, who would miss out on a dream contract because he held him to a lousy contract, reneging on a promise to sell the night-club, and the Drake family's (adulterous) love life. It all hangs on the tiny details only Jessica notices and makes sense of..
