I love the television series with Angela Lansbury. It makes me happy every time I read (or listen to) one of these books! It's like revisiting old friends in Cabot Cove....even if it is the murder capital of Maine. :)

The basics: Jessica Fletcher is still staying in a local hotel while her home is undergoing extensive repair. Hill House is comfortable enough, but a bit crowded when a wedding party come to stay. A blizzard hits dumping a huge amount of snow, stranding everyone. That's bad enough....but when a killer starts picking off people one by one....Jessica is on the case!

This was a fun book to read in July when it's hot as blazes outside. I was wishing the entire time that I could be snowed in! Without a killer on the loose, of course. The mystery was an entertaining and suspenseful read. And I enjoyed revisiting all my favorite characters from Cabot Cove again!

I listened to the audio book version of this story. The audio is just over 8 hours long. Narrated by Laural Merlington, the audio was a fun listen! Merlington does a great job of voicing Jessica Fletcher and the other characters. Very entertaining listening experience!

The Murder of Twelve is the 51st Murder She Wrote novel, so others must enjoy returning to Cabot Cove, too! I love seeing Angela Lansbury's smiling face on each cover! Keep 'em coming! I will read every single one! :)

I have always loved Murder She Wrote and I love reading the books that are based on the tv show. These are well written and follow the characters wonderfully. I especially love the ones that take place in Cabot Cove. This was a well done story that takes place in a hotel during a monumental snow storm. I look forward to reading the next book. I received a copy of this book from edelweiss for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will. ( )

YAY, I am happy to be back in Cabot Cove, Maine, with Jessica Fletcher. I’m sure this will be another wild adventure and I’m looking forward to it. I can surely use some mystery to busy my mind and chuckles to ease it.

AND a blizzard tops it off. We all know nothing bad happens during a blizzard. LOL

I love the take Jon and Jessica have taken with this mystery. It’s fresh and new, and I read a lot of mystery.

The only witness to the murder is the local lush , and he says it’s Big Foot. Well, this does have me even more curious now. My mind starts running. Is it a Big Foot? Is it just a big guy wrapped up in a heavy coat?

The Murder of Twelve by Jon Land brought back memories of a couple blizzards I’ve been in. It also made me realize that I am doing the right thing when I flip the safety latch on the hotel room door.

A couple thoughts came to mind about who was behind it all, but Jon and Jessica give nothing away. We have soooo many suspects as body after body drops dead. I chased those red herrings, keeping myself fearful for who will be the next victim. Each time a body falls, there is one less suspect. LOL

I love everything about the book…a blizzard…no one getting out…no one getting in…the Hilton House Hotel.

The clues add up, suspect’s are eliminated, one by one, and, funny that such a small town seems to invite in so much murder? Do you have an opinion?

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of The Murder of Twelve by Jon Land.
